Hispanic College Students Library Experience
Lumley, Risa; Newman, Eric; Brown, Haakon T.
Contemporary Issues in Education Research, v8 n1 p49-54 2015
This study looks at undergraduate Hispanic students' interpretations and current perceptions of the academic library's purpose, usefulness and value. What are the reasons to use the library? What are the barriers to use? This study will examine academic libraries' move toward electronic library materials and what it means for Hispanic students. The results of this study will help academic libraries at Hispanic Serving Institutions to better understand how they are currently being perceived and what they need to do to market themselves and their collections to better serve Hispanic students.
