Session Description:
Many US students are opting to begin their college education at a community college and complete their coursework after transfer to a university. In this case study, more than 900 graduates from a large community college transfer to a nearby university every year. This population is likely to miss the initial university library instruction opportunities usually available to first-year students. This paper will present findings of transfer student data from a survey and interviews conducted to uncover the challenges and opportunities of the transfer student experience and how this impacts their comfort level and ability to do library research.
