The Contribution of University Libraries to Student Retention Hagel, Pauline Horn, Anne Owen, Sue Currie, Michael Higher Education Research Libraries School Holding Power Foreign Countries Partnerships in Education Participation Socioeconomic Background Outcomes of Education Correlation Helping Relationship Help Seeking The Australian Government's Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program aims to encourage greater participation of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in higher education. Historically, participation and retention rates of students from underrepresented groups have been less than for the majority of school leavers. Universities are now intensifying their efforts to improve retention, and expect all parts of their institutions, including the university library, to contribute. Through a review of conceptual and empirical literature, this paper identifies five potential means by which a library may contribute to student retention and concludes by outlining one library's approach to investigating its contribution.
