Monograph #45
The Role of the Library in the First College Year
Larry Hardesty, Editor
Produced in association with the Association of College and Research Libraries, a Division of the American Library Association
While the library is at the center of many campuses physically, it is often an overlooked and underused resource in improving the learning and success of first-year college students. In this new addition to The First-Year Experience Monograph series, librarians, classroom faculty, administrators, and higher education researchers come together to explore the potential of the library in shaping the student experience. Chapter authors explore structures and practices for helping students learn to navigate the college library; use the Internet effectively; and find, analyze, and incorporate information into their academic work – a critical foundation for college success. Thirteen case studies present detailed information on current practice from a variety of campus types.
