Ana Ndumu; Michele A. L. Villagran; Vilma Sandoval-Sall; Kirsten Grunberg; Laura Tadena; Roman Santillan; N. Yasmin Bromir – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2023
Immigrants are essential library constituents. This article presents the outcomes of a pilot, self-paced mini-course to introduce US immigrants to the library and information science (LIS) field. Data from student assessment and focus groups suggest that, with curricular and design improvements, the mini-course can help recruit skilled or degreed…
