- Lloyd C. Engelbrecht (born 1927) is Professor Emeritus of Art History at the University of Cincinnati. In collaboration with his late wife, June-Marie F. Engelbrecht (1930-2009), he has been researching, writing about and speaking about architect and designer Henry C. Trost (1860-1933) and his family firm of Trost & Trost. On May 8, 2014, Lloyd Engelbrecht was invited to speak at the University of Texas at El Paso as part of a Trost symposium. The following is an excerpt from the official announcement of the symposium: In celebration of Trost’s architectural legacy, UTEP Special Collections will host the “Trost Lecture Series” at 6 p.m. May 8 [2014] in the UTEP Library, Blumberg Auditorium, room 111. The event will feature speakers Dr. Troy Ainsworth, executive director of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro Trail Association (CARTA); Joe and Lanna Duncan, owners of the Trost-designed El Capitan Hotel in Van Horn, Texas and El Paisano Hotel in Marfa, Texas; and Dr. Lloyd Engelbrecht, co-author of Henry C. Trost: Architect of the Southwest. A public exhibit featuring family photos, sketches, blueprints and photographs of the buildings Trost designed in El Paso and throughout the Southwest will be on display May 10 in the UTEP Library’s atrium on the third floor. The lecture and exhibit were part of Trost Week, May 3-10, 2014, which was organized by the Texas Trost Society, a new nonprofit group that advocates for the preservation of Trost & Trost architecture.

- Description/Abstract:
- As an increasing number of universities expand programs globally, libraries are seen as an essential partner for this endeavor. Some library units are fully or semi-fully integrated into these academic programs. The University of Cincinnati (Ohio, USA) and Chongqing University (Chongqing, China) introduced the first co-operative engineering education program in China in 2013. Since this time, the University of Cincinnati library has been striving to connect American faculty and Chinese students in three main areas: 1.utilizing library websites and social media for reference, instruction, and outreach; 2.playing a peer role for traveling faculty with course materials, elearning, and basic technical support; 3.developing a sustainable relationship with matching librarians in Chongqing for collection development and beyond. This presentation is intended to share experience and practices with librarians in similar positions, as well as administrators looking to develop a similar position.

- Description/Abstract:
- Background and objectives Library instruction, especially in one-shot sessions, usually focuses on framing research questions, finding sources, and evaluating information. Similarly, online guides tend to highlight search tools and techniques and evaluation of sources by applying traditional criteria. The ACRL Framework (2015) has expanded the definition of information literacy by including creation of new knowledge and ethical participation in communities of knowledge. We thought it was essential to address these competencies in instruction, especially in view of publications (Monge & Frisicaro-Pawlowski. 2014) and studies (Head, 2012; Head, 2016) that point at the discrepancy between information literacy instruction provided in college and actual demands of the workplace. Monge & Frisicaro-Pawlowski (2014) emphasize the importance of encouraging students “to engage in personal information management by using… web-based media” and “use technology for social interaction and collaboration” (Monge & Frisicaro-Pawlowski. 2014, p. 70). In order to start bridging the gap between the skills typical graduates acquire through library instruction and those that will prepare them for workplace success and lifelong learning, we created an online guide that reflects the I-LEARN model (Neuman, 2011, p.97) and • covers a variety of information competencies, including “staying smart” in a rapidly changing world (Head, 2016), organizing information, creating content, succeeding in online collaboration, and being a safe and responsible online contributor; • points students to free institutional resources that may be available after they graduate, and quality online tools and resources they can use anytime; and • provides tips and best practices for essential information-related tasks, including managing information, publishing content, and maintaining an online presence. Outcomes Participants will take away • ideas for the guide structure and content, which can be adapted to their needs; • suggestions on developing a guide with input from faculty and other campus stakeholders, and • examples of how various pages of the guide can be integrated into course content. We will share our experience of using the guide in course-specific instruction and observations of the impact it had on students We will discuss our future plans, which include working with subject specialists and faculty to create discipline-specific assignments, instruction, and guides in order to equip students with information skills relevant to their future workplace.

- Description/Abstract:
- The Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL), an open access digital library of U.S. federal technical reports, is now celebrating 10 years of existence. TRAIL is truly a labor of love, built from scratch and nurtured by a growing and passionate community of member organizations and volunteers. Through this group’s collective efforts, TRAIL has progressed from a small pilot (200 digitized documents) to the current library of 50,000+ technical reports, and contains content of interest to all disciplines. TRAIL provides an integrated website and search interface for discovery of reports from a range of federal agencies - well-known ones, such as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), and obscure ones such as the Office of Saline Waters. This initiative is funded by its member organizations, including the Government Publishing Office (GPO), and works under the administration of the Center for Research Libraries (CRL). It represents a strong collaboration between government document librarians, subject librarians in academia, and the many partner organizations that support the digitization workflows (e.g., University of Michigan Google Book Project scanning) and donate content for digitization. This poster will describe TRAIL’s genesis and development, its growth in membership and volunteers (including our new no-cost “personal” membership option), lessons learned while fostering the LOVE and awareness of open access discovery and digital preservation, and future plans to increase the reach of TRAIL’s activities.
