“…Survey respondents mostly pointed to LibGuides and research guides when asked about modes of standards instruction and outreach, while librarian-taught one-shot, guest lecture sessions and research consultations were among the top selected responses to standards education (see Figure 7). Using LibGuides and research guides is interesting as this differs from the standards education literature which focuses on the forms of workshops and case study instruction (Rowley et al, 2020;Solomon et al, 2019). Self-serve options for standards education, such as self-paced tutorials (Phillips et al, 2017), can be made accessible and discoverable online.…”

Technical standards are resources that are important for engineering and engineering technology students due to ABET accreditation requirements and future professional use of the documents. Previous studies have surveyed librarians at Association of Research Libraries (ARL) institutions with engineering programs and librarians at universities with top-ranked engineering programs about standards. This study fills a gap by focusing on librarians at institutions with engineering technology programs. We surveyed 34 academic librarians at institutions with four-year bachelor programs in the disciplines of mechanical engineering technology or electrical and electronics engineering technology to learn about standards access and challenges at their libraries, standards education for students, and librarians’ standards-related professional development experiences and needs. Key findings include: standards access and standards education efforts are skewed towards larger institutions; librarians encounter significant cost challenges in providing standards access; few librarians receive education about standards until moving into their careers; and there is a need for self-paced librarian training materials focused on standards. Further education for librarians about standards and increased standards access has the potential to have a significant impact on many students, given the reach of librarians in their liaison roles.

“…To support engineering and ET programs, many academic libraries maintain technical standards collections (Phillips, 2019), and many science and engineering librarians integrate standards content into information literacy instruction (Cioc et al, 2021;Phillips & McPherson, 2016;Solomon et al, 2019). However, both collecting standards and teaching about standards pose unique discovery and access challenges (Phillips, 2019).…”

Technical standards are important documents that academic libraries collect to support education and research, particularly for engineering and technology programs. However, standards documents present many unique discovery and access challenges that are confusing and cumbersome for users. To help alleviate these issues, Elsevier started indexing technical standards in their Abstracting & Indexing (A&I) database Compendex in 2018. This column provides a brief overview of Compendex, a summary of the standards collections currently indexed in the database, and a discussion about using Compendex as a tool for standards discovery and access.

“…This content can be accessed free of charge or for a small fee via various eLearning programs [8,9,10,11]. Likewise, universities have taken it upon themselves to create technical standards training modules, workshops, and events into their curriculum and courses [12,13,14,15]. This distribution of responsibility for technical standards education is further supported by one pre-survey conducted in anticipation of a two-day workshop hosted by the American Society for Engineering Education in 2018.…”

“…They also recognize that collaborations with outside organizations, companies, and technical societies will allow them to provide more relevant and targeted content. This shift in educational ownership of technical standards content delivery at the undergraduate level can be seen in the increasing integration of modules and case studies into university engineering courses and the reaffirmation and efforts on behalf of standards organizations to provide educators with access to technical standards resources and information [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]17].…”

is a polymer engineer with three years of experience as an electromechanical design engineer for Schneider Electric where she served as a technical product owner for electrical protective devices (e.g., shunt trips, miniature circuit breakers, panel boards, electrical cables). She holds a bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Iowa State University and a master's degree in Macromolecular Science and Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. Ms. Kurr completed her Spanish Business Certificate from the University of Wisconsin -Madison. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Energy Science and Engineering from the University of Tennessee's Bredesen Center. In her free time, Ms. Kurr sits on the Standard Technical Panel for Underwriters Laboratories UL-746 (polymer materials) and serves as a professional development facilitator for Tau Beta Pi's -The Engineering Honor Society -Engineering Futures Program and the National Science Foundation-funded CyberAmbassadors Program.Mr. Jimmy A. Landmesser Jr., UT-Battelle Mr. Landmesser has 14 years of experience as a fire protection, nuclear and systems engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Upon receiving his degree in fire protection engineering from the University of Maryland in 2009, he joined the Nonreactor Nuclear Division (NNFD) at ORNL as a fire protection system engineer and designer. In this role, he developed his skills as a system engineer overseeing the design, installation and modification of unique FP systems protecting special nuclear materials. To better his understanding of the additional hazards and specialized operations of NNFD, Mr. Landmesser earned a master's degree in nuclear engineering. For the past five years, he has served as a design engineer and project manager for the Laboratory Modernization Division (LMD) supporting new construction and modernization of existing infrastructure. In this role, Mr. Landmesser has honed his technical acumen and improved his management and communication skills while building strong organizational and leadership qualities.Mr. Landmesser is currently pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Tennessee, focusing on modeling soil-moisture impacts to wildland-urban interface.
