|
| Researchers observed nearly 3,000 student behaviors in four post-secondary libraries to determine the types of study or non-study behaviors demonstrated. Ultimately, whether students had a mobile device readily available best predicted whether they demonstrated a study, as opposed to a non-study, behavior. Additionally, if students were found in quiet study or computer areas, they were more likely to be performing study behaviors. |
