Impact of Undergraduate Students’ Library Use on Their Learning beyond GPA: Mixed-Methods Approach	2022-05-02	22	.pdf	application/pdf	9403	401	51	One of the key findings from the 2018 survey was the negative correlation between student library visits and their GPA, although students’ use of library resources (such as journal articles and databases) was positively associated with their GPA.1 This finding is contrary to the earlier studies indicat- ing that students’ library visits were positively associated with students’ academic success.2 However, given that correlation does not guarantee causation, it is not easy to clearly explain this negative relationship. In more recent years, the literature pertaining to academic libraries’ contribu- tions to academic success (GPA) are steadily increasing such as Ula Gaha, Suzanne Hinnefeld, and Catherine Pellegrino’s study examining the correlations between library instruction and GPA;6 Tiffany LeMaistre, Qingmin Shi, and Sandip Thanki’s investigation of the relationship between library online resource use and GPA;7 and Francesca Marineo and Qingmin Shi’s examination of the relationships between library use sessions and GPA.8 Given that GPA has been widely used in various fields as a quantifiable indicator of student academic success and learning (for instance, in Psychology, Educational Psychol- ogy, and Library and Information Sciences), it is very important to have empirical evidence demonstrating that academic libraries have a positive impact on students’ academic success using GPA.	cache/crl-24743.pdf	txt/crl-24743.txt
