Supporting Research Students

摘要

Many library and information professionals will not have experienced the distinct processes in studying for a doctorate and so this might be seen as a disadvantage in supporting this group. The aim of the book, according to the author, is to give library and information professionals in the higher education sector an insight into the research process and the support of research students. Supporting research students has risen up the higher education agenda with the growth of different types of doctoral awards and recognition of a doctorate beyond the academic sphere.
