Abstract

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.
