AB  - Undergraduate research experiences have been an area of increasing importance for the College of Engineering (COE) at North Carolina State University.  Opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in research can be found within faculty and industry labs, honors track programs, research experiences for undergraduates (REU) programs, and co-curricular initiatives.  While students pursuing these opportunities are ideal candidates for topic-specific information literacy instruction, they are often overlooked due to the absence of a centralized classroom structure associated with undergraduate research activities.  This presentation will discuss how engineering librarians at the NC State University Libraries, in conjunction with COE faculty, created targeted, department-specific information literacy instruction sessions customized to support the unique needs of undergraduate researchers and conducted research on the effectiveness of the sessions. 

To assess the undergraduate researchers’ needs and the impact of the sessions, the librarians utilized pre- and post-session surveys to gauge the students’ research experiences, expected research needs, and their confidence finding and using specific resources. Subsequent sessions were then tailored to address identified needs and to match departmental research outcomes, based upon feedback from the departments’ undergraduate research directors and advising faculty.  A total of 81 students from eight sessions over the past 2.5 years completed the assessment. This presentation will discuss the structure of the information sessions, preliminary findings from the assessment, and strategies taken to incorporate the identified needs into future sessions.
