Thanks for sharing, Michael.
Our Writing Center hosts writing groups, so we plan to link to that. A few people have shared resources off the thread, as well. Here are a few I've received:
From Harvard: https://canvas.harvard.edu/courses/62558 - I hadn't thought about making something this interactive, but maybe in Phase 2 or 3!
From Simon Fraser University: https://www.lib.sfu.ca/help/publish/scholarly-publishing/radical-access/getting-started-research
This is the Rutgers one I referred to in my initial post: https://libguides.rutgers.edu/BootCamps. And Bonnie Fong wrote an article about it.
I have stumbled across a few others:
https://dal.ca.libguides.com/ResearchCamp/modules
https://libguides.auburn.edu/savvy_researcher/workshops
And I found this article from Cornell, but I don't know if this bootcamp still happens, I couldn't easily find it on their site: https://crln.acrl.org/index.php/crlnews/article/view/17808/19633
My guide is still private - I'm probably a few months away from publishing this - and there is still a lot of work to do with content, context, organization, etc. but the menu can give you a sense of where I'm trying to go. I've only just shared it with colleagues in Digital Scholarship Services, who are slowly adding content, and the Graduate Student Association will provide UX/content feedback before this gets any publicity. For example, in a quick meeting with the grad students, they asked for info on Collaborative Project Management tools and they told me despite discipline, they'd probably be looking for info on data tools by qualitative or quantitative. Our DH librarian said Humanities students might ignore the data section so we be explicit when labeling tools useful for them. So lots of work to do still!
Please continue to share links to guides like this if you have one!

Hi Melissa,
We have started something at UVic we call the "Graduate Writers' Skill-building Group" and we have a guide here: Graduate Writers' Skill-building Group
Its not exactly what you are asking for, but we have broken things down into three areas: writing help, counseling, and library help, which includes some of the things you mention.
Great conversation starter - I hope to see more!

Hi all,
Inspired by the Rutgers graduate student bootcamp, and by a new doc student approaching me this quarter to say "I don't know what I don't know - help me," I'm working on putting together a guide addressing all the things you should know as a grad student that might not be explicit - things like tools to organize reading notes, where you can get quant data training, creating an orcid, your rights as an author, what is open access - a guide that explains what something is and why it might be relevant to you as a grad student, and acts a pathfinder to our more detailed guides on research data management, schol comm, GIS, etc. I'm trying to keep it basic and transferable so it serves as an entry point for all disciplines.
Do you have an example of a guide like this? I feel like in the numerous years I've worked with doctoral students, I have a solid sense of what they ask and have needed to know, but I'm sure my guide has gaps. So I thought I'd see what other people have made.
