Research conducted by Soria, Fansen and Nackerud (2017) indicates that
students who use the library at least once during the first year of enrollment have increased odds of graduating in four years or remaining enrolled after four years
first-year students who use library resources had significantly improved odds of graduating in four years instead of withdrawing
students who use eBooks and take a library instruction course have markedly improved odds of remaining enrolled after four years instead of withdrawing.
