"Supporting Transfer Student Success: The Essential Role of College and University Libraries"
"This research-based book with practical applications teaches academic librarians to support their transfer students effectively at both universities and community colleges, even when transfer students' information literacy needs differ from those of other students."
--ABC-CLIO
"For those at institutions with clear articulation agreements and/or significant transfer populations ...this book will be of immense value. Moreover, given the authors' expertise in information literacy and their treatment of this topic within the book, librarians engaged in library instruction, regardless of whether or not they interact with transfer students on a regular basis, will benefit from reading this book. Supporting Transfer Student Success stands out as a must-add title."
-- Public Services Quarterly, October 6, 2021
"Transfer students will use the information resources and library services (both in-person and virtually) at almost all college and university libraries. Nuhn and Kaufmann present research-based content with examples of practical applications. Academic librarians can implement these best practices to effectively meet the information literacy and critical thinking needs of transfer students -- an important component of student success!"
-- Gail M. Staines, University Librarian, University of Central Missouri
