Partnering with IT to Help Disadvantaged Students Achieve Academic Success
Clarke, Janet H.
Public Services Quarterly, v8 n3 p208-226 2012
This case study will describe how the Stony Brook University Libraries instruction program partnered with another student support service (student computing office) to nurture a relationship with the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) over several years to provide their students with the library research and computer skills needed to succeed in college. EOP is a state-funded program aimed at economically disadvantaged students whose high school education has not fully prepared them for college success. (Contains 2 tables, 1 figure, and 9 notes.)
