How do college students really conduct research for classroom assignments? In 2008, five large Illinois universities were awarded a Library Services and Technology Act Grant to try to answer that question. The resulting ongoing study has already yielded some eye-opening results. The findings suggest changes ranging from simple adjustments in service and resources to modifying the physical layout of the library. In this book Duke and Asher, two anthropological researchers involved with the project since the beginning,
- Summarize the study's history, including its goals, parameters, and methodology
- Offer a comprehensive discussion of the research findings, touching on issues such as website design, library instruction for faculty, and meeting the needs of commuter and minority students
- Detail a number of service reforms which have already been implemented at the participating institutions
This important book deepens our understanding of how academic libraries can better serve students’ needs, and also serves as a model for other researchers interested in a user-centered approach to evaluating library services.

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Review
"Engaging ... While readers might be drawn initially to the salient findings described in chapters two through nine, a more lasting effect of this book is perhaps its impact on librarians' interest in conducting ethnographic studies at their own institutions ... Readers will benefit from an extensive bibliography, including a number of studies initiated to understand and improve student researchers' experiences in their college libraries." --Portal
"While this book explores some exciting ideas in academic library services, I especially enjoyed the quotes from the students and faculty interviews that many chapter contributors shared. This thought-provoking book will be of interest to anyone concerned with the future of libraries." --Information Today

情報リテラシー教育標準を大学研究図書館協会(ACRL)が策定して10年を経たが、大学の生活環境自体がスマホを中心に大きく変わり、在学生の比率でもヒスパニック系が増えている。ヒスパニックも出身が世界中に散らばるために言語だけの問題に限らず民族学的な差異があるために、様々な異文化問題に対応する必要性がある。このような学生の生態を対象にしたユニークで実用的な調査を分析した報告書。
この多様性こそがアメリカの大学の強みだが、これに積極的な打開策を検討するための研究プロジェクトを組める大学図書館と教員組織の有機的な活動力を保証する水平的な組織を維持できる体制がアメリカの強み。
他にも全米では類似の研究プロジェクトがあり、報告されているが規模の大きさでは現時点で最大ではないかと思われる。
