Providing practical and theoretical chapters on academic library
services for graduate students, this volume helps information
professionals support this often-overlooked campus population to
address their multiple roles and identities as students and as
future faculty members or professionals. As more and more students
attend graduate programs, many higher education institutions have
established professional development programs to help graduate
students learn the wide range of skills needed to be successful as
both students and as future professionals or academics. To
presuppose that graduate students are proficient library users is a
mistake. Graduate students need and want help, and many libraries
are now offering specialized services for this diverse population.
Contributors to this edited volume provide case studies and
practical advice on academic library services for graduate students
that support their multiple roles on campus and address the complex
social and emotional issues related to their other roles as
parents, working adults, caretakers, and more. As academic
libraries shift from functioning primarily as collections
repositories to collaborating as key players in discovery and
knowledge creation, value-added services for graduate students are
even more central to libraries' changing missions. This book makes
an important contribution to the ongoing professional conversation
and is a useful tool for librarians who want to better support
graduate students at their institutions. Provides case studies and
practical advice for specialized library services for an
often-overlooked academic population Highlights innovative designs
for instructional and outreach programming, as well as physical
library spaces, that target the needs of graduate students
Describes best practices for tailoring library services to the
unique needs of graduate students with divergent career goals
Demonstrates how academic librarians can contribute to lifelong
learning and workplace information literacy by supporting graduate
students, not only as students but also as future academics and
professionals Details collaborative endeavors that result in
services and programming which address the holistic needs of
21st-century graduate students
