Library Data and Student Success

Abstract

This presentation was delivered at the annual Association for Institutional Research Upper Midwest conference. Staff at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Libraries undertook a pilot project to measure how often, and in what ways, students used the Libraries’ various services. Partnering with the University’s Office of Institutional Research, Libraries staff also investigated whether students who use library services tend to be more successful academically or had higher retention. This presentation highlights the results of data collection and analyses.
