Ithaka Harbors Inc.

Ithaka S+R will conduct research to help community college library leaders, chief academic officers, and other college leaders institutionalize data-driven research findings on the needs of community college students and the barriers students face when attempting to access library and other academic support services. The goal of this project is to help community colleges incorporate findings on the needs of community college students into their institutional practices. This effort to engage with research to institutionalize data-driven knowledge has the potential to help community colleges organize themselves administratively in order to provide the highest level of support to their students. To this end, this project will produce several outputs, including four major publications, interim public reports, blogging, presentations, social media engagement, and an interactive workshop.
