Research Practices of Civil and Environmental Engineering Scholars at the University of Waterloo

Abstract

This report is an investigation of research practices of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) scholars at the University of Waterloo. The study was conducted by the Library, and was part of a larger suite of parallel studies of Civil and Environmental Engineering scholars at institutions of higher education in the U.S. and Canada. The Ithaka capstone report provides a cumulative view of the evolving needs of Civil and Environmental Engineering scholars and includes recommendations that libraries, universities and engineering societies can use to support the changing research practices of engineering scholars.
