Abstract

Our Personal Librarian program pairs first-year students with librarians who stay in touch throughout the year and provide help in various ways. Florida Libraries | Volume 66 | Issue 3 22 FLORIDA LIBRARIES We introduce students to library resources, assist with finding information sources (books, articles, etc.), and connect students to campus resources for academic success. Reaching out to our students early on provides them with another person to ask when assistance is needed and should improve student retention.
