Broken out by race or ethnicity, indigenous Americans and those of Hispanic heritage were the most likely to feel the need for a library skills fresher course; 27.27% of the former and 24.32% of the latter felt the need for a refresher. Students practicing Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism were more likely than others to feel the need for a library refresher.This study looks closely at which students have received a library orientation session and how satisfied they were with this session.  It also presents a separate, highly detailed data set on students who feel that they need a “refresher” library orientation.

More than 27% or students of Hispanic origin felt that they needed a library refresher orientation, the highest percentage among the various racial and ethnic groups.
