  Abstract: This presentation will provide attendees with current data and information about international students in STEM fields participating in U.S. higher education. This overview helps contextualize the work of academic librarians engaging with this cohort. From this aerial view, I will discuss the framework I developed for connecting with international students before the pandemic, and how we pivoted post-pandemic. Successful cross-campus collaborations are shared, and library-centric engagement activities are described.

  This Lightning Talk discussed working with another campus unit, in this case, the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) to raise the profile of student research and the Library’s role in student success. Students submit a poster to GPSC for consideration, and may elect to include an essay to the Library for its Willock Awards, which ask how library resources and services supported their research.This Lightning Talk discusses how this collaboration and these awards provide valuable student testimonials for library communications, and present an opportunity for educating students about their options for self-archiving their research products.

  I was asked to talk about my co-sponsorship of a College of Engineering student chapter of American Society of Engineering Education. I described the "Engineering in an Intersectional World" workshop we presented to students and faculty, as well as the research project we undertook to examine what kinds of resources were available to and utilized by College of Engineering students who have disabilities.

  Abstract:This study seeks to examine the degree to which the concept of information literacy (IL) is incorporated within the literature addressing engineering pedagogy in higher education, with a focus on the American Society of Engineering Education’s publication Journal of Engineering Education. It characterizes such IL references according to an assessment developed by L.G. O'Conner (2008) that permits relative ranking along a scale that runs from "Incidental Mention" to "Major Focus." The study is aligned with the years that the Association of College & Research Libraries' Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education were in force, 2000 through 2016. This study is useful to librarians interested in understanding the uptake and understanding of IL concepts within engineering education, and uses the proxy of the educational research published in the scholarly Journal of Engineering Education to serve this function. Such knowledge may usefully shape the approach and the collaborative efforts taken with engineering faculty. O’Connor, L. G. (2008).
