Research summary
AI-generated

Amanda Folk's work focuses on information literacy—how students learn to find, evaluate, and use information—especially in academic library and higher education settings, with attention to equity, first-generation students, and undergraduate research experiences. The bibliographic record also includes some publications on physical activity and health topics that appear unrelated to the core library science work, possibly reflecting a distinct or shared name in the dataset. Prospective students interested in library science, information literacy pedagogy, or equity-focused approaches to academic research support would find the core body of work most relevant.
