<br/><br/> "Presenting strategies for improving academic library services for first-generation students, this timely book focuses on programs and services that will increase student academic engagement and success.  The book makes the case - both explicitly and implicitly - that academic libraries can help address the known risk factors (e.g. by helping students build academic cultural competencies) and therefore improve success, persistence, and retention for first-generation students.  Academic library professionals in both leadership roles and public service positions will benefit from the actionable strategies presented here."--
