| contents | Reading, Risk, and Reality: College Students and Reading for Pleasure Gilbert, Julie Fister, Barbara College Students Recreational Reading Reading Habits Academic Libraries Library Role Librarians Lifelong Learning Reading Interests Student Attitudes Reading Attitudes Barriers College Faculty Writing Teachers Teacher Attitudes Student Surveys News reports and well-publicized government studies have led to a popular perception that reading is an endangered activity, particularly among youth. In this study we surveyed college students, librarians, and college writing instructors about students' attitudes toward reading for pleasure, examine barriers to voluntary reading among college students, and explore academic libraries' potential role in promoting reading. Our findings suggest that students have a far higher interest in reading than is typically believed and recommend steps academic librarians can take to encourage reading for lifelong learning. |
