Fransen, Jan Nackerud, Shane Academic Achievement Academic Libraries Grade Point Average Library Services Research Universities Users (Information) Use Studies Library Research Audits (Verification) College Outcomes Assessment Academic Persistence College Freshmen Value Judgment Evidence Statistical Analysis Academic libraries, like other university departments, are being asked to demonstrate their value to the institution. This study discusses the impact library usage has on the retention and academic success of first-time, first-year undergraduate students at a large, public research university. Usage statistics were gathered at the University of Minnesota during the Fall 2011 semester for thirteen library access points. Analysis of the data suggests first-time, first-year undergraduate students who use the library have a higher GPA for their first semester and higher retention from fall to spring than non-library users. (Contains 6 tables and 27 notes.)
