<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b>Redefining College Readiness: Library Partnerships that Support Student Transition</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">It is clear that learning information literacy skills is essential to college students’ education. What is not always clear is how best to reach them. At a time when new students
are learning to navigate several new spaces, processes, and relationships at the same time, where does the library fit in? How can academic libraries help support this transition and demonstrate our worth to students—and other campus entities? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Academic libraries are in a unique position to contribute to both the academic and social aspects of students’ lives. Vincent Tinto’s (1993) social interaction model shows that
student success and retention are significantly affected by how connected a student feels to the institution, a theory supported by Johnson (1997) and Rusing and Poole (2002), among others. Outreach efforts engage students and make them feel integrated with
the university and comfortable with the library so they keep coming back—which will benefit them academically.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">To engage the most students possible, academic libraries need to cast their nets wide, partnering with other campus departments in both Academic and Student Affairs that interact
with students in different ways. Examples of successful partnerships, such as Housing, New Student Programs, and Student Support Services, will be shared and help attendees to envision collaborations at their own institutions. Additionally, some of the richest
partnerships can come from students serving as peer educators who can help reach and engage fellow students in new areas and in fresh ways. FGCU Library Student Ambassadors will share their experiences of interacting with their peers in reference, instruction,
and outreach efforts. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Characteristics of first-year students in transition will be discussed along with best practices for engaging with them. Attendees will identify campus departments with which they
could collaborate and develop a plan to forge partnerships with them. Practical considerations and tips will be shared to get the most from these collaborative efforts. While academic librarians are the primary audience, public librarians would benefit from
learning ways to form partnerships, which they could extrapolate to the collaborations they create with the larger community.
