Abstract

The article presents a study regarding urban academic libraries. The study aims to identify the various factors influencing the perceptions of students of color regarding the library as a welcoming space. It also discusses the qualitative divergent factors along racial lines concerning the student's use of the library. The research is grounded in the theory of symbolic interactionism and Critical Race Theory to focus on three themes that emerged reflecting racial differences among library users.
