Library Correlational Assessment and Campus Partnership for Student Success

Abstract

Data-driven assessments in academic libraries, which demonstrate their relevance to student success, have become increasingly crucial. This correlational study aimed to assess whether using online resources and borrowing print materials from the university library contributed to higher grade point averages (GPA) and better retention rates among undergraduate students at California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA), a campus where students of color comprise 85% of the overall student population with 75% coming from underserved communities.
