They stated, “I had a group project in the spring and they hada hard time working together in terms of common times and just engaging at a distance, so ifthey’re not all on campus, and not even in the same time zone, it created some challenges.”In terms of a positive impact due to COVID-19, one faculty member mentioned that recordinglectures as videos provided the opportunity to “flip the classroom” and change their typicalteaching method. This was something they had wanted to incorporate previously but did not havethe time or opportunity. However, one faculty had the opposite experience. As a more

Thistheme included the desire to have available technology in their study locations, for exampleWIFI, electrical outlets, laptops, printers and access to computer labs. The themes Comfort (9%),Proximity to Amenities (8%), and Study Materials & Accessories (8%) illustrate the needs tocreate the perfect study experience. Comfort included comments that reflected the overallcontentment of the chosen study location, such as comfortable couches, large tables, and size ofroom. The students also had a strong preference towards their Proximity to Amenities, whichincluded distance to food (restaurants) and convenience of getting from home to the College ofArchitecture buildings on campus.

In the current, second yearof the research data management course, “flipped classroom” approaches have been used morefrequently. Based on student feedback, the creation of a data management plan throughcumulative assignments have been replaced with more use cases to directly apply concepts. TheData Services Librarian is collaborating with other data librarians to share instructional curriculaand materials among Superfund programs. The course will continue to be revised to strengthenan evidence-based learning philosophy, and to reflect feedback from students about the contentand alignment with application to their work.To improve curation of data produced by

Out of the six performance indicators for theirmodel, libraries can have the greatest effect on both "institutional climate/culture" and"institutional receptivity". The climate/culture reflects how students are treated, opportunities forresearch and contributions to a chosen discipline, and especially whether students feel like theybelong.

Thielen et al. developed and taught a for credit course on Data Management for graduatestudents in climate and space sciences.[5] For this course, students had weekly assignments towrite a section of a DMP based on that week’s classroom activities. The final project thenconsisted of combining these sections in a comprehensive DMP. This student assignment is anexample of the project DMP. The authors note that: 1) the DMP “was not tied to any fundingagency requirement”, and 2) the assignment may be revised in the future and limit the DMP totwo pages to “more accurately reflect federal funding agency requirements”.[5] Thus, theauthors acknowledge the funding DMP (i.e., a desire to limit the DMP

Nine competitions were identified, and theresident librarian was able to correspond with organizers at seven of the host institutions in orderto gain insight into their experiences [8].

Co-locating engineering and businesscollections and librarians might be a better way to support research in both disciplines.We recognize that such changes are not easily made and would not fit the needs of everyinstitution.

librarians now "believe that‘understanding some ethical, legal, economic, and socio-political information issues’ is anelement of IL" [9]. This approach is reflected in the ACRL’s Framework for InformationLiteracy for Higher Education [4].IL instruction for graduate students takes various forms. It can be integrated into a graduatecourse or delivered as a stand-alone workshop. It can also be offered as a one-shot session or as aseries of sessions. The latter offers the opportunity to establish a relationship with students,compared to the one-shot session, and appears to have a much greater impact on studentretention [9, 10].

They typically don’t use the library beyond itstraditional purpose of a place to study. They may be unaware of library services and resourcesand are not known to ask for help in using library resources or completing research assignments[2].
