Data Consistent with
Pellegrino
“… students who are encouraged by a faculty member
to ask a librarian for help with research are
significantly more likely to do so than those who
are not.”
Pellegrino, 2012, p. 275

Outcomes
 100% of respondents say they are “likely” or “very
likely” to meet with librarian in the future.
 Library anxiety
 Paper writing anxiety
Student Conclusions
“I am really glad this was required to
write the research paper. It really
helped me a lot for this paper and will
help me in the future.”
“Even meeting just briefly helped me to
more effectively research my paper, and it
ultimately saved me a lot of time and effort
that I could then devote to actually writing
the paper.”
Future:
Continued Collaboration
 Instructor changed
assignment
 Modify instruction
timing, format
 Emphasis on writing
help
 Repeat survey
 Expand assessment?
! Tell faculty to require students come to library !
