librarianscreated several CoPs to support themselves [14].The University of Saskatchewan (USask) implemented a CoP in 2012 on the topic of leadershipdevelopment, inspired by the Ohio University Library system [15]. Their CoP developed out ofthe need to create momentum for activities following a leadership development workshop. Withsome member turnover annually, they have managed to establish a core group that come from alllayers of the organization with a shared passion in leadership.Designing and Cultivating a Conceptual CoP FrameworkKerno and Mace [7] provide a thorough overview of a theoretical framework for learningtogether. Within it, “CoPs contain four necessary components: (a) practice; (b) meaning; (c)community; and (d) identity, and these elements
academic programs and key administrative units, such as the Professional EnrichmentCenter (CEP) and the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS). The liaison librarian to the College ofEngineering was particularly effective in partnering with the Engineering faculty to a) cultivatethe development of information literacy skills, b) create specific assignments, and c) offercustomized instruction sessions and workshops on a wide variety of topics. These trainingsessions included topics such as finding scholarly information, evaluating Internet resources,writing literature reviews, citing references, and presenting ethical issues related to academicintegrity and plagiarism. Furthermore, the engineering liaison librarian works in collaborationwith the College

image on the board(Appendix A). At the end of the session, each team had an image and associated citation to use intheir upcoming presentation. Three weeks after the session, the students delivered theirpresentation on the topic.Quantitative data was extracted from the students’ presentation slides through two differentmethods. The first method assessed the presentation overall for a given team. The presentationswere assessed with a rubric designed to measure the use of citations for images and the use ofimages not violating copyright law (Appendix B). Scores were assigned to each presentation. Inaddition, presentations were broken down to where the individual images were examined. Thesources of the images used for the theory portion of the

Topicscovered during the instruction session include: role and value of standards, standardizationsystem, the voluntary standards development process, types of standards and applications, howto read a standard, and where to find standards as students and as professionals. The instructionsession employs formative real-time assessment techniques by using online polling to askquestions after each section in the lecture, see Appendix B. We chose to use PollEverywhere asour polling tool because it is easy to integrate into a deck of slides and students can use anyelectronic
libraries fill the requests?Lending libraries are identified in the data by a three-character alpha-numeric code; for example,Colorado State University is coded as “COF”. Abbreviations were decoded using RapidILL’sCurrent Members tool available on their website [28].Overall, 274 ILL requests in this five year period, or 14%, were not filled, as denoted in Figure 8by the “Patron Notification B” category. This result could be for a variety of reasons; the itemcould be very new or old, rare, otherwise unavailable, or Parks Library may already have the itemavailable and be able to fulfill the user’s request through Course Reserve or general checkout.
