Instruction and reference services are pivotal as well as intertwined functions of the BGSU Firelands Library. In addition to promoting a relaxed and inviting attitude toward the library, the librarians strive to keep instruction fresh and current. Instruction is often a students’ first introduction to the wealth of information available through an academic library. It further encourages them to come to the library often and take advantage of its reference services as well as its computer work stations and study accommodations - carrels, roundtables, sofa groupings, and study room. The librarians aspire to keep abreast of the new and innovative approaches to delivering both instruction and reference services in ways that efficiently and effectively meet student needs.

Student retention rates have long been a topic among school administrators, but it is an issue barely mentioned in library circles.

By focusing briefly on four main topics, including reaching out to students early and often, getting them in the library door and getting them to stay, the reader will be able to see the broad picture of how crucial libraries are to fighting student attrition.
