- College Fluency Capacity Building: Insights from a Northeastern Community College Deirdre Harkins Elmira Jangjou Melissa Blankstein jean amaral Community Colleges Community College Students Knowledge Level Social Capital Libraries Academic Libraries Student Needs Partnerships in Education Librarians Library Services Navigating the landscape of higher education takes more than just attending classes, passing, and graduating. It requires a set of skills known as "college fluency." Libraries play a pivotal role in helping fluency flourish, training their employees and other faculty and staff members across their institution to adapt to the needs of students in an ever-changing world. As students and staff grapple with challenges beyond the syllabus, with issues such as employee turnover rates, food insecurity, and the challenges of hybrid work and study, the need for college fluency becomes even more evident. To further examine and develop impactful strategies for unmet needs related to college fluency, the Borough of Manhattan Community College Library (BMCC) and Ithaka S+R have partnered on the College Fluency Capacity Building initiative with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Looking specifically at the development of college fluency services in community colleges across the US, this initiative takes a deep dive into the nuances of this programming toward increasing librarians' own college fluency and that of their students. To do this, BMCC and Ithaka S+R are publishing a series of case studies to further understand how institutions are currently addressing college fluency needs and to learn how to enhance the abilities of academic librarians and library workers to help their students successfully navigate institutional resources and services. The second case study in this series looks at a small northeastern community college that has been developing college fluency programs with both their library and non-library faculty and staff. The college fluency initiatives are still in their early stages, with a primary focus on the library. Other more traditional programs at this college that also contribute to college fluency are primarily non-library related, highlighting just how much of a campus-wide effort it takes to promote greater college fluency.
