LIBRARY EMPLOYMENT ^ GPA

“The overwhelming majority of students felt that library employment had a positive impact on their academics and this perception was confirmed by their collective, average GPAs when compared to that of their peers.”

LIBRARY INSTRUCTION ^ GPA

“There is a statistically significant difference in GPA between graduating seniors who had library instruction in upper-level courses (defined in this study as post-freshman-level) and those who did not.”

LIBRARY INISTRUCTION ^ GPA

“Students who receive library instruction, on average, have a higher grade point average than those who do not.”

LIBRARY INSTRUCTION ^ GPA

“It was found that if more than one or two library workshops were offered to students within the course of their program, there was a higher tendency of workshop attendance having a positive impact on final GPA.”

“The research successfully demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between library resource use and level of degree result.”

[sjlss]

“There is a correlation between student library material usage and their cumulative grade point average (GPA).”

[sjlss]

“Library use is associated with retention, and, importantly, that library use in the early weeks of a student’s first semester is associated with retention.”

[sjlss]

“Students with higher GPAs tend to use library online resources more and with a higher frequency than those with lower GPAs. ”

[sjlss]

“First-time, first-year undergraduate students who use the library have a higher GPA for their first semester and higher retention from fall to spring than non-library users.”

[sjlss]

“Students who used academic library services and resources at least once during the academic year had higher GPA and retention on average than their peers who did not use library services.”

“Four library use areas were consistently and positively associated with students’ GPA: database logins, book loans, electronic journal logins, and library workstation logins.”

“Logging into databases and using library workstations were actions consistently and positively associated with students’ retention. ”

[sjlss]

”Retained students log-in to authenticated resources and borrow from the library at higher rates than withdrawn students.”

[sjlss]

“Results indicate a strong positive predictive relationship between library use of any kind with both freshmen and sophomore retention.”

[sjlss]

“Both library expenses per student and library use per student were significantly correlated with both graduation and retention rates.”

[sjlss]

“There is a correlation between library instruction and retention at the two-year college.”

[sjlss]

“The ratio of library professional staff to students predicts a statistically significant positive relationship with both retention and graduation rates.”

[sjlss]

“Library expenses per full-time equivalent (FTE) and instruction expenses per FTE had the highest overall relationship with graduation and retention rates.”

[sjlss]

“Results indicate that the library job is seen as a generally positive part of the students' college experience, particularly in the areas of skill development and academic performance.”
