The Meriam Library will be conducting a series of focus groups with self-identified Indigenous, Asian, Asian-Pacific Islander, Southeast Asian, and East Asian undergraduate students who are at least 18 years old in the spring semester. The study uses the photovoice methodology and is being conducted to better understand students' experience with the library space. The objective is to learn how traditionally marginalized students perceive the library and what improvements we can make to the space, services, and materials to better meet their needs.
