Goals: 1. to gain a better understanding of undergraduates’

research processes based on firsthand accounts of how they obtained, evaluated, and managed information for their assignments;

2. to explore how relationships between teaching faculty, librarians, and students shaped these processes;

3. to assess the roles of academic libraries and librarians within students’ research practices;

4. and finally, to adjust library services to address students’ needs more effectively.
