- The Research Process and the Library: First-Generation College Seniors vs. Freshmen Pickard, Elizabeth Logan, Firouzeh First Generation College Students College Freshmen College Seniors Academic Libraries Followup Studies Comparative Analysis Information Literacy Undergraduate Study Student Research Research Skills In a follow-up study to the ERIAL (Ethnographic Research in Illinois Academic Libraries) Project, librarians at UIC compared the responses of first-generation college freshmen from the original study to those of seniors. The study's aim was to determine whether student information literacy increases as a result of undergraduate education and to further explore the student research process with respect to the particular factors that inform and effect change in it. The findings showed that information literacy increased among these students, and they developed a more complex approach to the research process and the library.
