First Generation College Students Change Emergency Programs Citizen Participation Librarians Disadvantaged Power Structure Electronic Learning Library Services Student Characteristics Purpose: This paper aims to present research on the assets of first-generation college students and offer asset-based practices that can be implemented to support students during emergency transitions. Design/methodology/approach: This paper reviews the literature related to first-generation college students and cultural wealth and then details practices for implementation by librarians working to enhance the transition to online learning for this student group. Findings: The author identified in the literature six assets of first-generation college students: reflexivity, optimism, academic resilience, goal-orientation, civic-mindedness and proactivity. These assets coupled with Yosso's concept of community cultural wealth provide a frame of reference for examining and implementing services and programs to enhance the educational experience of first-generation college students during emergency transitions. Originality/value: Whereas existing literature on first-generation college students assumes a deficit lens, this paper puts forth the cultural assets of this population that may be leveraged by librarians. Student assets are positioned alongside forms of capital that also may be utilized to guide the work of librarians. |
