To further examine and develop effective strategies to foster college fluency, the Borough of Manhattan Community College Library (BMCC) and Ithaka S+R have collaborated 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 programming aimed at increasing librarians' own college fluency and that of their students. The fourth and last case study in this series looks at Montgomery County Community College in Pennsylvania. Using this college's example, the authors are able to identify both the opportunities to build college fluency capacity and the challenges to doing so. This case study also explores how effective Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) has been at connecting students to resources even in the absence of a dedicated college fluency program, while pointing to the additional impact these efforts could have if they were formalized. |
