Appendix A shows the five principles that are important while a course is designed,developed and assessed. Appendix B shows the matrix generated by the author for conducting assessment. Inthis particular case, the author chose to assess the subject matter of Industrial Engineering.The author decided that there were 16 important traits that need to be assessed. Appendix C documents this data collected

The stations were designed to introduce students to many of theresources available at the University, as well as free sources available online.The students were divided into team of three to complete the Research Studio and also tocomplete the corresponding assignment. Each student went to three stations, so that at least onestudent in each team completed each of the six stations and two team members completed moststations.

We wanted to compare the information-related skills they had with those they needed during their co-op assignments as a proxy forworkplace expectations. We identified gaps in student preparedness which we are using to workwith faculty and staff to address those needs strategically. This paper details three ways in whichwe are making use of what we learned: development of a teamwork workshop and a portfolioprogram as well as furthering integration of information literacy into the curriculum.IntroductionAs is true for many engineering librarians, we see a role for ourselves in producing workplace-ready engineering graduates.

is considered a success. By creating descriptive bibliographies(finding aids) that incorporate metadata standards, materials that were once hidden and lost toresearchers, are now easily discovered and used.IntroductionEven without financial pressures on library budgets, collections of technical reports typicallydon’t rank too high on priority lists for processing and inclusion in libraries’ holdings. Technicalreports however, always found their way on library shelves or cabinets where they would be filedfor easy physical browsing and discovery by library users. With the ongoing pressures on libraryspaces resulting in libraries being consolidated and closed, these collections have often ended upin remote storage locations waiting for more

It presents two successful case studies initiated by the IEEE University PartnershipProgram (UPP) in two top Chinese universities- Peking University and Tsinghua University. Itshows how IEEE student branches get involved in librarian outreach activities and other routinework at various levels. Through this program, student volunteers serve as effective collaboratorsto promote library resources and bring librarians into specific domain disciplines, and reach outto various parties. These best practices will provide valuable lessons and useful suggestions forboth
