At the Library Research Seminar conference, I presented with colleagues from the College Fluency project. Our presentation, “The college is just so big: Supporting students by reframing the higher education experience,” engaged participants in a discussion on how libraries and library staff can support prospective and current students at various stages of the college admission and degree attainment process. Check out the zine from our presentation. Use to engage your colleagues in conversation about serving college-bound patrons.


Dr. Hands participated in a two-part interview with the College Fluency (CF) research team led by jean amaral, associate professor and open knowledge librarian at Borough of Manhattan Community College. The CF project complements the aims of Project CLiA through its focus on empowering community college librarians to support students navigating college.
