Librarians were concerned that transfer students’ information literacy skills lagged those of their peers because transfers did not receive the library instruction that other students got in first-year classes. The investigators conducted semi-structured interviews with transfer students to answer two research questions: (1) How do transfer students look for information? (2) From the students’ perspectives, how can the library best assist them? These interviews revealed that transfer students were confident researchers, largely because of their experiences before moving to their new institution. Transfer students were most interested in learning more about the library services and resources at their new university.

孩子们都很好：图书馆如何最好地为转学生服务

图书馆员担心转学生的信息素养技能落后于同龄人，因为转学生没有接受其他学生在一年级课程中获得的图书馆指导。调查人员对转学生进行了半结构化访谈，以回答两个研究问题：（1）转学生如何查找信息？(2) 从学生的角度来看，图书馆如何才能最好地帮助他们？这些采访表明，转学生是自信的研究人员，主要是因为他们在搬到新机构之前的经历。转学生最感兴趣的是更多地了解他们新大学的图书馆服务和资源。
