Library Student Employee Alumni Survey Project
Heidi Pagan
Academic libraries are among the largest student employers on university campuses. This project examines the paths of former Library Student Employees (LSEs) to better understand how student employment in academic libraries contributes to professional development, transferable skills, and alumni engagement. The primary research question guiding this study is: Where are former library student employees now, and how has their library work influenced their career paths? This project provides evidence of the lasting impact of library student employment and supports strategies for alumni recognition, engagement, and program development.

Information Access and Correspondence Education for Incarcerated People
Evan J. Pasco
Having quality access to education is an important factor in improving outcomes for incarcerated individuals, which includes higher employment rates and reduced recidivism. Unfortunately, incarcerated learners face many barriers when attempting to participate in these educational programs, such as high cost, censorship, and institutional restrictions. Despite the importance of continuing education, limited centralized information remains available on it or the obstacles that affect participation.
This project focuses on the broader information landscape for incarcerated learners, particularly examining correspondence education programs in the United States. This research includes an analysis of common barriers in accessing education, a review of scholarly literature on prison education, and a comparison of existing educational programs. By identifying gaps, challenges, and trends in education for incarcerated students, this project will aim to highlight the importance of accessible education, especially in an incarcerated environment.
