- Assessing the Information Literacy Skills of First-Generation College Students LeMire, Sarah Xu, Zhihong Hahn, Douglas Balester, Valerie Dorsey, Leroy G. Student Evaluation Information Literacy First Generation College Students Academic Libraries Individual Differences Outcomes of Education Regression (Statistics) Knowledge Level Academic libraries, together with their colleges and universities, are increasingly identifying first-generation college students as an underserved population that is likely to experience barriers to library access and usage. Less is known, however, about the information literacy skills of first-generation students, particularly in comparison with their continuing-generation counterparts. This study assessed the information literacy skills of first-generation college students in general education courses at Texas A&M University to inform information literacy instructional efforts and to inform advocacy efforts for developing substantial and sustained information literacy support for first-generation students at that campus. Study results indicate that first-generation students experience significant information literacy gaps in comparison with continuing-generation students at the same institution and in the same courses.
