This volume brings together academic librarians from North America for 16 chapters that detail strategies for retaining and graduating nontraditional students, particularly international, transfer, first-generation, and re-entry/older students from all types of higher education institutions.

They address supporting first-generation students, overcoming language barriers, instruction and information literacy, stressors for returning adult students in online learning environments, library instruction for multilingual students, online learning for English language learners, an online academic integrity tutorial for international graduate students, reaching first-generation and underrepresented students through transparent assignment design, a research-writing practicum to increase student agency and engagement, interdepartmental collaboration to target the research and writing challenges of international graduate students, strategies to diversify digital collections to support first-generation students, campus and library support strategies, developing language skills and connections through games, creating community for transfer students through a library picnic, single-parent students, and older, transfer, and commuter student involvement in the library.
