The literature, activities, and resource needs of this group provide insight into a demographic that is often among the early-adopters of new technologies, tools, and methods of sharing information. Despite the often non-bibliographic nature of their research efforts, there are numerous elements of the traditional service model that remain relevant and integral to the engineering research patron base. New methods of live and virtual instruction, the improved promotion of research consultation, and data management are prime targets for efficient and effective service …

From in-studio production to laptop simplicity, we've tried it all in terms of video instruction. Engineering & Business Librarian Matt Torrence will talk about the production side of things, illustrating …
