He is also leading the development of a second, larger Makerspace, set
years, 1986 through 1996.Therefore, in order to determine an accurate citation count each family member must be searchedseparately. Table 4 shows the number of citing documents for each member of the patent familyof US4615579 in selected databases. The USPTO database has two columns, one for citedreferences located on the front page (Front) of the patent and the second for in-text references(Text). Six members of this family have been cited in later patents. Published applications (“A”documents) are more likely to be cited than issued patents (“B” and “C” documents) becausethey become public eighteen months after filing. This is true for the German (DE), French (FR),British (GB) and Japanese (JP) members. The U.S. did not begin publishing
in their engineering courses between their first year and the Engineering Design Processes class in their junior year, although in their sophomore year they are required to view a librarianproduced “searching for standards” tutorial and then find a standard on their own in order to complete a lab report. There was no randomization or subsampling involved in this study; every student in the Engineering Design Processes course who turned in an assignment was assessed. Process Table 1 summarizes the differences between the Spring 2013 and Fall 2013 library sessions and course assignments. See Appendix B for full details of the lesson plans for the Spring and Fall 2013

effectiveness in regards to the project’s purpose and information’s credibility. One of the librarians presented an option to use for evaluating information sources. The ABCD process was adapted from a pneumonic that was used at Harvard University Libraries. The “A” represents Authority---who provided the information and what is the affiliation of the person. “B” represents bias. Is it obvious that the creator has a specific point of view or is there an effort to represent the entire picture? Bias is not necessarily bad, but must be recognized and used properly in the project. “C” stands for how current the item is. If recent information is required on a topic, something from 1975 probably will not be adequate. Students were

outside of their coursework. During their final year, engineering standardsare presented as standalone lecture in their senior capstone design course. Students prior orduring the same semester are presented with database and library resources for completingliterature reviews in a parallel course.The presentation of engineering standards is given just prior to project assignment. The timingof the instruction prior to the project assignments is because the first step after projectassignment is to complete a codes and standards worksheet (Appendix A) and realisticconstraints worksheet (Appendix B). After completing the worksheets the industry sponsors signoff on the scope of the project and standards utilized.Library instruction introduces students
publishing in a particular journal does not automatically make that journal agood candidate for purchase. This research does, however, give us a starting place and helps usto understand our faculty’s research output and areas for development of the collection, andcreates opportunities for feedback and conversations with faculty to hear their opinions andneeds in terms of research resources.AcknowledgementsThe authors wish to thank April Colosimo and Giovanna Badia for their helpful comments on thedraft of this paper.Bibliography 1.

building, the James B. Hunt Jr. Library. At this stage of the process,space- and service-model planning was initiated and in support of this work, various user studieswere undertaken. These studies, which were conducted up until the last months before thebuilding opened in January 2013, helped to answer planning questions, as well as build supportand awareness of the library among faculty and students.1 After the building opened, it quicklybecame apparent that assessment of the effectiveness of the new spaces and the service modelwas needed and as a result, more studies were initiated. The resulting body of five years ofresearch provides many practical insights into the needs and preferences of Hunt Library users.The Hunt Library is situated on
