“…Not only does this outreach help position librarians as educators in the campus community but these activities also contribute to the institution's learning mission. There is a strong body of literature that supports information literacy as a skill that serves both undergraduate and graduate STEM students (Perry 2016;Simonsen, Sare, and Bankston 2017;Spackman 2007;Van Lacum, Ossevoort, and Goedhart 2014) and it will not be expanded on here. Librarians are embedded in courses throughout the semester (FerrerVinent 2016;Mandernach and Reisner 2012;Pritchard 2010) and help scaffold curriculum (Mitchell 2014;Scarmozzino 2010).…”

Increased efforts to diversify science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the United States have drastically increased the number of studies offering insight into the experiences of women in STEM programs in higher education. This paper presents a thematic review of the literature regarding their status from 2007 to 2017 including journals, trade magazines, theses, and dissertations. It focuses on areas of recruitment, retention, barriers, and faculty issues. Stereotypes, biases, campus culture, classroom experiences, identity, and sense of belonging are also explored. The author additionally identifies gaps and suggests related areas for new research as well as implications for librarians.
