OWJ Survey Data & Codebook Year 2: UIC & NIU
Project description: This two-year research project, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (funding number: IMLS LG-252338-OLS-22), develops assessment tools to capture the undergraduate students’ academic engagement including library use, psychological factors, and their own academic success. It explores how students define success, the library’s role in their achievement, and factors correlating with GPA.
During the second year of the research project, the eight-week Online Journaling (OWJ) was revised and implemented at UIC and NIU. Students who expressed interest in OWJ were invited to participate, with 151 from UIC and 87 from NIU enrolling. By week eight, 117 UIC and 70 NIU students completed all sessions, while others participated to varying degrees.
