| Résumé: | This article examines the presentation of libraries during admissions campus
tours at a large public university. Perspectives from tour guides, librarians, and
admissions staff are considered through an analysis of tour observations and
interviews. Tour guides’ statements about the libraries varied, but mostly indicated
that they viewed the libraries as positive and valuable places. This article reveals
opportunities for collaboration between academic libraries and admissions
departments to ensure that tours present information that aids prospective students
in understanding the library’s role on a university campus, feeling welcome and
comfortable in the library space, and envisioning themselves using the library. |
