• The Libraries have lots of resources
• My name is Jan• I’m your librarian• I’m here to help

So what do they need?
• “Big picture” of engineering communication and practical skills
• Consumable in short bursts• Accessible whenever and wherever
the student needs it• A compelling reason to participate

What tool to use?
• Easy enough for a SME to learn• Inexpensive enough to install as
needed• Rapid prototyping, and easy editing
later• Capture screencasts and make them
interactive• Tools for quizzing• Our choice: Adobe Captivate

What makes these different?
• Examples are all engineering-related• Informed by citation analysis of past
theses and dissertations• Reviewed by faculty members

Citation Analysis
• By department• Past three calendar years• Limited to what was available online• Tedious, but worth it
– Not without its statistical problems, but…
– Helped me and will help the students understand what happens in grad school with this population
