This study looks closely at which students received a library orientation session and how satisfied they were with it. It also presents a separate, highly detailed data set on students who feel that they need a “refresher” library orientation.
Just a few of this 57-page report’s many findings are:
- In general, and with some exceptions, the smaller the school the greater the likelihood that a student had taken a library orientation session.
- Only a shade more than 29% of students majoring in performing arts have attended a library orientation session.
- Transgender students and students of indigenous origins were particularly dissatisfied with library orientation sessions.
- More than 27% or students of Hispanic origin felt that they needed a library refresher orientation, the highest percentage among the various racial and ethnic groups.
Data is broken out by more than 20 institutional and personal variables including but not limited to: income of a family of origin, race/ethnicity, religion, gender, regional origins, current employment status, sexual orientation, major field of study, age, year of school standing, type of college, size of the college, tuition level of college, and many other variables.
