This was a critical consideration in the development of both the peer observationprocess and the form.Student Work AnalysisAnalysis of student work products will focus specifically on work produced and collected duringa library session. Collection of in-session data will vary dramatically by course and session.Different student levels, learning outcomes across sessions, course topics, and in-class activitiescan dictate what type of work is produced and therefore collected during a session. One exampleof an in-session activity is included in Appendix B. Librarians also have the option to collectformative or summative work; assessing formative
engineering librarians in thoseservices. The study involved the engineering librarians at all United States Class 15 (Very HighResearch Activity (RU/VH)) and Class 16 (High Research Activity (RU/H)) institutions per the2010 Basic Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. The Classifications DataFile can be obtained at http://carnegieclassifications.iu.edu/2010/resources/. IRB clearance forthe survey was obtained from both [university A] and [university B]. The authors gathered the e-mail addresses of the engineering librarian(s) by inspection of the library website of eachinstitution. The survey was meant to elicit responses from a population that include theengineering librarians at all doctoral degree granting institutions

students’ recollection of simple facts (for example, that the library’sbooks are organized using Library of Congress Classification), others walk students throughprescribed database searches with specific instructions designed to provide practice with searchtechniques. For example, in one question students are instructed to use quotes around two wordsin order to search for an exact phrase. In another, students consider how Boolean operatorswould affect a search for multiple concepts. Perhaps the most important question in Quiz Aintroduces students to the engineering-specific databases by directing them to the Engineeringsubject category of the FGCU Library’s Databases page, the portal to the over 400 databases towhich the Library subscribes.Quiz B

Figures 3(a) and 3(b) show the signage above the door of the room, andthe newly installed machine. In addition to housing a portion of the library’s general stacks andthe industrial grade 3D printer, the second floor is also home to the Library’s Teaching ResourceCenter (TRC). The TRC is a curriculum materials center whose mission is to directly support theteaching and learning of students
theliterature which relates to his special [thesis] work.” and that students should be encouraged towrite technical articles for engineering society publications and professional meetings.Professor John B. Johnson, another civil engineer from Washington University in St. Louis,presented a paper on “Methods of Studying Current Technical Literature.”9 In it he observed thatthe “current literature on all technical subjects is becoming as vast as it is valuable. It is quitebeyond the powers of any one person to even scan it all in any one field, much less read it.”Professor Johnson argued that “the mind of an engineer should be a workshop and not awarehouse. If he knows where to go for a piece of information when he needs it, until it isneeded it is better
totheir advantage. By considering factors of audience, type of information being disseminated anddesired time to impact, librarians can assist faculty to think critically through the development ofa plan that is most likely to serve the professors’ alternative scholarly communication goals well.Simultaneously, librarians can point faculty member in ways that are most likely to preserve thescholarly record and perhaps educate faculty about open access practices.References1 Howard, J.
