‘That Background Knowledge’: What Junior and Senior Undergraduate Transfer Students Need from Their Libraries
journal contribution
posted on 2020-08-20, 00:00 authored by Ann Marshall, Mark Robison, Nancy FawleyUndergraduate students who transfer from one institution to another do so at wildly variant points in their college careers. The range of stages at which students transfer raises questions for librarians who support these students. This article presents the findings from the second phase of a two-phase, multi-campus research project, examining incoming transfer students' experiences related to research and information literacy (IL) instruction. Grounded in the dual theories of transfer deficit and transfer student capital, this article uses the results of follow-up interviews with junior and senior transfer students to identify the difficulties these newly arrived students experience with using library resources to conduct research, as well as the research strategies and other strengths these students bring with them from their previous institutions.
