intended to give credit to the body of scholarship and research on which a new practiceis built as well as make a case for legitimacy for new work. Most universities require researchand publication of their faculty for tenure and promotion. To be successful in this process, acandidate needs to show impact. This impact is usually heavily based on citation metrics. Whilethere is a push from some, such as those in the open scholarship movement to change thispractice and put value on other metrics of impact [3], it remains a heavy driver at most academicinstitutions, meaning citation practices have broad impact on who gets recognition in academia[4]. In addition, research that is more heavily cited usually is regarded as more impactful and ismore

Additionally, as part of a Colorado statewideinter-institutional collaboration (GradCO) we are sharing a selection of these workshops beyondour own campus community. These developments have inspired the library to evaluate whetherthe series is meeting the needs of graduate students. Specifically, we are interested in expandingour scope toward career readiness for scientists and engineers entering careers in industry,research, and academia.Existing career readiness frameworks address several core competencies. To best understandwhether our workshops are meeting career readiness goals, we mapped our catalog of pastworkshops to these

It should be noted that while the course enrollment consisted ofundergraduates, individual skill sets and experiences were varied, and that had an impact on theircomfort with information engagement and use. For example, two students in the class were in theprocess of applying to graduate school, and therefore, had more experience with scholarlyjournal literature.As stated above, there were several business research needs addressed in the course, however, wewill only detail one aspect here, which was to help the students identify and define a targetconsumer. It was important for them to do this because they needed to ensure their design wassomething people would eventually buy

They found that researchers harbored concernsabout data sharing, mostly related to ethics (67.5%), but also misuse and misinterpretation ofdata, and fear of losing the scientific edge. They also had a lack of understanding regarding thenecessary steps for making data publicly accessible. The study underscored the need forsubstantial training and advocacy efforts to actualize the vision of widespread data sharing.There have been explorations on research data management best practices in the U.S. context aswell.

Between the library and the school of engineering, the mostequitable and long-term solution would require investing both time and money in developingopen and accessible textbooks and course materials. Overall, the focus should be on empoweringstudent’s learning, and ensuring they have access to the materials they need to meet their learningoutcomes.Future ResearchAdditional directions for research include a faculty facing survey regarding what factorsprofessors consider when choosing texts, or a study that follows the textbook expenses ofindividual engineering students and the impacts of that

Textbook selection practices,particularly OER adoption, have been studied for STEM courses, including engineeringmechanics [7] and health sciences [4]. Other OER-related research includes the positive effectson student learning outcomes [1], efforts to design OER [8], how OER could be better curated inrepositories [9], and detailed case studies [10].For some STEM instructors, there is tension between faculty

Finally, developing indicators that demonstrate if the objectives were being met.The literature review allowed the researchers to understand the data collection process.

Thisapproach provided librarians with deep knowledge of their liaison area’s research practices, butwas limited in tracking how students, staff, and faculty responded to this exposure [12].

Due to their ability to optimizeon a narrow task, custom GPTs were determined to be the best option for this project. Thecustom GPT was designed specifically to extract citations from MET capstone project reports viaimages of their bibliographies. Screenshots of the bibliographies were saved as local image filesand uploaded to the custom GPT one at a time to extract and build the citation information.While this worked well
