“This second volume of Undergraduate Research & the Academic Librarian: Case Studies and Best Practices provides colleges and universities with a set of models that inspire and enrich undergraduate research, demonstrating the contributions of academic librarians to student success.”
—From the Foreword by Janice DeCosmo

Undergraduate research is a specific pedagogical practice with an impact on teaching and learning, and the definition of what counts as research continues to expand to include different types of projects, mentors, and institutions. Diversity, equity, and inclusion in librarians’ work with students and faculty are present and growing. Collaborations between faculty, librarians, and students are furthering student knowledge in new ways. This community and an awareness of students’ non-academic challenges demonstrate the library’s contribution to students’ overall sense of belonging within their institutions.

This second volume of Undergraduate Research & the Academic Librarian contains 22 new chapters that explore these expanded definitions of research and the changes wrought in the profession and the world in the intervening years. Five sections examine:

1. First-Year Undergraduate Research Models
2. Cohort-Based Models
3. Tutorials, Learning Objects, Services, and Institutional Repositories
4. Course-Based Undergraduate Research Collaborations
5. Building and Sustaining Programs
