Engineering Libraries Division (ELD) – ASEE: An Overview, 2017 Conference Highlights, and ABET Engineering Accreditation Criteria Changes

Presenting key activities of the Engineering Libraries Division of the American Society of Engineering Education, this presentation was delivered as part of the 2017 ACRL STS Liaisons Online Forum: Presented by the STS Liaisons Committee: STS maintains a liaison program to encourage STS members to report on the meetings and activities of science and technology organizations. Our liaisons have the important role of helping to develop connections between librarians and other STEM professionals. We provided an introduction to the STS Liaisons Committee and websites for liaisons information at the start of the forum. During this free virtual forum, three liaisons (Kristin Lee, Tufts University, Annette Parde-Maass, Creighton University, and Margaret Phillips, Purdue University), who recently attended meetings for their organizations, the Association for Information Science and Technology, the Medical Library Association, and the Engineering Libraries Division of the American Society of Engineering Education, shared key activities from these organizations. The liaisons also discussed service opportunities and resources available to STS members in the different organizations
