  • summer Engineering experience for girls see an evolving hands on role for the Engineering Librarian
    Proceedings 2010 ASEE Conference and Exposition. Louisville KY: American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), 2010
    Co-Authors: Lynn G Berard, Donna Beck, Bo Baker, Nancy George
    Abstract:

    The summer of 2009 marked the third year that the EQT Corporation sponsored a twoweek Summer Engineering Experience for Girls (SEE) at Carnegie Mellon University. The program’s goal is to provide junior high girls the opportunity to learn of the appeal of Engineering as a career choice by demonstrating how Engineering contributions make the world “a better place.” The girls complete an application and attach a copy of their latest report card, a teacher recommendation form, and a one page essay explaining their interest in SEE. Twenty+ participants per year attend the July program free of charge. Librarians are invited to participate each year to provide research assistance. Our approach has changed over time from a one-shot lecture style to co-teaching two hour long sessions that promote step-by-step strategies for conducting research. These sessions include instruction on how to locate energy related websites and how to evaluate them, how to develop presenting and writing skills, and how to properly document sources used in their final presentation. SEE faculty continue to develop their instruction modules based on demonstrated successes from each year. This paper will discuss the impact that the Librarian can make during one-on-one interactions with the SEE students and the lessons learned over a three year program cycle.

  • the Engineering Librarian do you have the knack
    LIASA 17th Annual Conference, 2016
    Co-Authors: Cora Bezuidenhout
    Abstract:

    In this poster I would like to share my experiences as an Information Specialist assigned to three of the Engineering faculties at the University of Pretoria, namely Civil Engineering, Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering and Industrial and Systems Engineering.  I love my job and I would like to present it in a comic strip format, showing the stressful but also the humorous parts of the job. The poster will then also indicate how the Engineering Librarian can succeed by different strategies to reach out to the Engineering faculty staff and students. Strategies include hands-on training, being available in an office at the faculty (embedded Librarianship),  libguides etc.
