Science and Engineering Resources: Introduction
- 1. Science and Engineering Resources: Introduction Joseph Kraus Penrose Library Associate Professor Science and Engineering Reference Librarian March 23, 2010
- 2. Welcome and Introductions My background Provide some information about the Sci-Tech LIS class I took, way back in 1994. Why am I teaching this course? At what level will this be taught? Who are you? What is your background? What do you want to learn in the class? Look at the syllabus

- 4. The assigned readings Read to understand the gist of the articles. Try to understand the core concepts. Why the heck did I assign that reading? There is no need to memorize the minutiae, but you still need to read more than just the abstract. I will try to have everything available through Bb, but some things might only be available on print reserve.
- 5. The assigned readings For next week The Face of 21st Century Physical Science Librarianship, Science & Technology Libraries, Volume 26, Issue 2 December 2005, pages 71-90, Lina Ortega and Cecelia M. Brown. ortega.pdf is also in Blackboard. The education and training needs of health librarians—the generalist versus specialist dilemma, Tatjana Petrinic and Christine Urquhart, Health Information & Libraries Journal, Volume 24 Issue 3, Pages 167-176. Subject Knowledge in the Health Sciences Library, J Med Libr Assoc. 2005 October; 93(4): 459–466. Digital Libraries and Multi-Disciplinary Research Skills Please read the intro and the section dealing with scholarly communication.
- 6. The assignments There will be some ―negative‖ answers. We won’t have print/electronic access to some of the answers. Don’t spend forever trying to find something that doesn’t exist or we have no direct access. With some patrons, they might want a comprehensive search on a specific topic to find nothing. (Dissertation or patentability) Combination of print and electronic resources. The first assignment will be about 70/30. The following weeks are about 50/50.
