How Should Cultural Capital Theory Inform Library Practice?

This paper will briefly review available library literature that discuss the intersection of libraries and cultural capital, as well as introduce participants to the presenters’ longitudinal study which sought to examine cultural capital in first year students and test their information literacy skills to identify any connections that may exist. Student cultural capital and information literacy were then retested at the end of their first year to see if either had changed. Findings from the literature as well as the presenters’ study will be used to make recommendations as to how cultural capital theory should inform library practices.
