High-impact practices (HIPs) have been adopted on college
campuses to enhance student learning. The academic library
provides services and space contributing to learning at its
institution. Librarians conduct space research to learn how the
library building can better serve its users. Library space assessment
is one way for librarians to engage with faculty and students
to create an HIP in the library. This article is a case
study of a collaboration between a librarian and a sociology
professor to design an observational study. It demonstrates
how librarians can contribute to HIPs at their institution by
involving students in meaningful research.
