Librarian Recommended: A Survey of Engineering Education Resources in Library Research Guides
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Through content analysis, this study identifies the information resources frequently included in Engineering Education Research (EER) library research guides from universities with very high research activity. Conducted in September 2024, the analysis includes 15 research guides containing a total of 494 distinct information resources appearing 718 times. The study presents information on the most frequently appearing books, conferences and conference repositories, journals, research databases, software tools, societies, and websites. In general, there was limited overlap among the information resources included in the guides. However, a few resources, such as ERIC, Compendex, and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) conferences and paper repository, appeared on many of the guides. These findings can serve as a useful reference for librarians involved in EER collection development, research guide creation, and supporting scholars in the field.
