[Libs-Or] College Readiness and Library Research Skills: Observations from Oregon

[ACRLOR Communication]

A recent article in *Library Journal,* “First Year College Readiness
<http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2016/05/academic-libraries/the-first-year-college-readiness/>,”
highlights some of research skills academic librarians have observed first
year students struggling with when they reach college.

Last month, Arlene Weible, ACRL-OR's State Library Representative, sent out
an informal survey to ask ACRL-OR members and other academic librarians
involved in library instruction to relay their thoughts about first year
college students' skills and if Oregon academic librarians had similar
observations, given the decrease in licensed school librarians in the state.
