Measuring library impact on student success:
http://www.acrl.ala.org/value/?cat=22

The article cited in two of the posters [Soria, Krista, Jan Fransen, and Shane Nackerud. “Library Use and Undergraduate Student Outcomes: New Evidence for Students’ Retention and Academic Success.”? Portal: Libraries and the Academy 13.2 (2013): 147-64] finds a statistically significant improvement in GPA among first year undergraduate students who use the library.

The second study from the University of Wyoming, referenced in VAL-Poster-3, [Bowles-Terry, Melissa. “Library Instruction and Academic Success: A Mixed-Methods Assessment of a Library Instruction Program,” Evidence Based Library and Information Practice 7. 1 (2012): 82-95] supports a tiered plan for instruction, teaching incrementally advanced research skills. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the authors describe student perceptions of library instruction programs as well as GPA of graduating students who had library instruction in their first year and upper-level library instruction. Analysis of data from their study shows a positive correlation between upper-level instruction and a higher GPA at graduation.

Hi All!

My apologies for not keeping track, but can people point me in the direction of good places to look for research/information on the role of libraries in student success and retention?

Thanks so much!
Sue
