Why Do Students Seek Help In An Age Of Diy? Using A Qualitative Approach To Look Beyond Statistics, Marc Vinyard, Colleen Mullally, Jaimie Beth Colvin
Pepperdine University Libraries
National statistics indicate that academic libraries are experiencing declines in reference transactions, but the references services in some libraries continue to thrive. While many studies explore reasons that students do not seek assistance from librarians, there is limited research explaining why students do ask for help. The authors conducted a study to answer two questions: (1) How do undergraduate students look for information? (2) What prompted the students to seek out help from a librarian? To answer these questions, the authors conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews with undergraduate students who had received reference assistance. An important theme that emerged from the …

Cultural Diversity In Student Ministry Leadership, Steven Zhou
Seaver College Research And Scholarly Achievement Symposium
In an attempt to contribute to how ministries and Christian academia is addressing issues of diversity, I am conducting a study to analyze correlations between ethnicity and styles/values of leadership.

Although previous studies have commonly focused on the impact …

Theses and Dissertations
Accounting students are graduating each year with an objective of being employed in the accounting industry, either in public accounting or within the business industry.

The purpose of the current study is to find the perception of online accounting degrees by recruiters in public accounting. Results showed that Big Four and medium size regional public accounting firms saw a significant difference between traditional and online education and preferred …
