Libraries and Student Success (brianna curran)


 Libraries have always played a huge role for student success. They provide a multitude of resources for students, free internet and technology access, quiet places to study, tutoring, and more. Libraries contribute to student success in terms of helping students progress in their knowledge and persistence as university students. Lisa Massengale, Pattie Piotrowski,  and Devin Savage published a study that Identifies and Articulates Library Connections to Student Success. Their findings report “the library fills a unique role for students and provides a trusted network of people, spaces, and resources that help set the stage for students to succeed in terms of persistence and providing a sense of community. The role of the libraries may be that of facilitators of a scholarly community. qualitative research revealed four themes from the students in terms of how libraries help them succeed: space, people, place, and resources and service”.

Favicon

 Hello, my name is Michelle and though this is my first blog that I've worked on, I consider myself tech savvy and hope to share some tech knowledge here.  My first contribution to this blog is the addition of a favicon to distinguish ours from other Blogger blogs. A favicon is also known as a tab icon, URL icon, bookmark icon, etc, and is visible on the browser tab for the webpage.  In making this change, I also learned a valuable tip. At first when I was attempting to change the icon, the change was not visible. I learned that to force refresh a website and show changes that were made, I had to press Ctrl + F5.

  Hello, Added the Wikipedia gadget to our blog,  Teaching Others About Technology (LT130) .  In doing this process I found it was not as intimidating as I thought to work with this program.  I expected to have to search and find a link but the edit bar had several gadgets ready to automatically link to the page.  Excited to learn more about the process.
