Hi everyone,
I currently own a grad student consulting business to ensure they get the support they need from an academic librarian when their schools don't provide it or have limited staff. I am finding this is the case in many online programs and under-sourced schools.
I'm developing a panel proposal for ACRL 2027 titled "The Invisible Student: Who Supports Graduate Researchers When the Institution Can't?" and I believe someone here with experience working with graduate students would be a powerful addition to the conversation. Perhaps even an administrator navigating those waters.
Please let me know if you would be interested in co‑presenting with me or joining a panel to share your perspective on the gaps in research support that many online‑program students experience. I find students experience gaps even in robust librarian/research support, too, as they simply don't contact library staff or are not aware of the benefits of doing so.
I am considering a virtual panel at this point, so no need to travel. I have already talked to UAGC and UMGC (Arizona and Maryland respectively). But I am not particular about 100% online schools.
I am happy to jump on Zoom for further conversation. Thank you so much!
