- "I Am More Productive in the Library Because It's Quiet": Commuter Students in the College Library Regalado, Mariana Smale, Maura A. College Libraries Commuting Students Student Experience Qualitative Research Interviews Undergraduate Students Ethnography Library Services User Satisfaction (Information) Assignments Diaries Barriers Use Studies Interior Space Library Research Time on Task Student Attitudes This article discusses commuter students' experiences with the academic library, drawn from a qualitative study at the City University of New York. Undergraduates at six community and baccalaureate colleges were interviewed to explore how they fit schoolwork into their days, and the challenges and opportunities they encountered. Students identified physical and environmental features that informed their ability to successfully engage in academic work in the library. They valued the library as a distraction-free place for academic work, in contrast to the constraints they experienced in other places--including in their homes and on the commute.
