Abstract

Drawing upon recent research in academic self-concept and student motivation, presenters will explore the role of faculty/staff encouragement in motivating African-American college students to connect with and use library resources and services. Presenters will review experiences at Bennett College for Women and consider ramifications for other Historically Black Colleges and Universities as well as non-HBCU institutions.
