Graduate students are often thought of as mature researchers capable of figuring things out on their own, but they face special challenges in developing as novice scholars. This study adopts the lens of socialization and uses semi-structured interviews with dissertating graduate students in the humanities and social sciences at a large public research university to investigate how they understand their own practices of skills development, information seeking, networking, and forging a professional identity. It finds that students face considerable ambiguity in terms of expectations for the dissertation and whom they can go to for help, and that many needs are not being met by their home departments. The existence of these unmet needs and variability in where students get help imply that there is a space for librarians to become a part of the developmental support networks of even advanced graduate students.

技能、支持网络和社会化:论文研究生的需求

研究生通常被认为是能够自己解决问题的成熟研究人员,但他们在成长为新手学者方面面临着特殊的挑战。本研究采用社会化的视角,对一所大型公立研究型大学人文和社会科学专业的论文研究生进行半结构化访谈,调查他们如何理解自己在技能发展、信息搜索、网络和打造专业人才方面的实践。身份。它发现,学生在对论文的期望以及可以向谁寻求帮助方面面临着相当大的歧义,而且他们所在的部门没有满足许多需求。
