This book is dedicated to present and future engineering librarians who
strive to provide quality services in a critical profession that is always
changing and to promote the value of evaluated information. It is also
dedicated to the many faculty, librarians, and family members who have
supported me in this effort. Special thanks to Thomas Osif, Thomas
W. Conkling, and advisor and mentor extraordinaire, Dr. Joseph S.
Schmuckler of Temple University. The faculty member I have become
is largely due to his example of what a faculty member should be.
