Are academic libraries utilized to produce engaged alumni? Available to Purchase

The purpose of this paper is to explain the relationship alumni may have with their institution’s library and its effect on student success, which, in turn, produces more engaged alumni.

This paper provides a base interaction model that describes this relationship.

Libraries are well positioned to not only engage current students but to establish the foundation for these students to become engaged alumni.

This base relationship model may help with advocating for secure funds of libraries and/or a higher priority for fundraising.
