I will be the moderator for the session on 'Vendor Partneships with Engineering Libraries' during the next year's ASEE conference in Portland, Oregon. The theme for this year's conference is 'Exploring the World of Engineering Education'. The Engineering Libraries Division seeks papers related to innovations in the presentation and delivery of information resources and services for engineering constituents.

Brief description of my session:

Vendor partnerhips with engineering libraries

Effective partnerships with vendors can often be instrumental in promoting library resources to their faculty and students. In that sense, they can play a crucial role in reaching out to faculty and students with not only the vendor's own resource(s) but also other library services and its website as well. In this particular session, I am inviting presentations on such partnerships where engineering libraries have collaborated with electronic resource vendors or any other types of library vendors to plan, organize and carry out related activities for their faculty and students. In a way it may not be just outreach but also can encompass possible instructional and information literacy related activities emerging from such partnerships. I am also inviting submissions on any future or envisioned such partnerships and in that case, what you plan to achieve in the process as a team.
