Abstract
This study investigated pre-college (K–12) and present day library use and perceptions of research for 105 U.S.-educated first-year Latino undergraduates (generation 1.5). Data were collected through focus groups and an electronic survey. Results suggest K–12 library use and information literacy development are correlated. Research skills were underdeveloped for the sample as a whole, and correlated with students’ low levels of K–12 library use.
