Session Description:
Learn about research into academic reading habits that examines why undergraduates may not complete their required course reading. Interviews with students at a large, urban, public, commuter university explored students course reading access and practices, and the impact on their use of time. Students described multiple ways to acquire and engage with course materials, and shared challenges including prior knowledge, reading proficiency, and institutional support. Results from this study enable librarians to consider their role in supporting undergraduates in completing their course readings, and to encourage students success in college.
