Take control of your PhD journey: A librarian's perspective

Abstract

PhD students as a library user group are receiving increased focus in the development of library services. In addition to write their doctoral thesis, they need to balance the roles as “good academics" and “good scientists”, and a key element in this respect is raised awareness around academic integrity and publication channels. In this breakout session, based on experiences from our own teaching sessions, we discuss how PhD students respond to these challenges, and which actions should be taken by university libraries to help them meet the expectations of present-day academia.
