| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the relationship between the frequency of student library visits and their academic performance. Library card swipe entry data during the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters were anonymized and filtered to include only undergraduate residential students aged 17 and older. Semester GPA scores were correlated with the data resulting in a dataset of 3,340 student records. Comprehensive quantitative analysis reveals a significant correlation between library visits and GPAs. The findings demonstrate that increased visits to the library contribute to higher academic achievement, highlighting the library's essential role as a crucial space for student success. | |
