This active pedagogical session will discuss and explain the usefulness of utilizing a combination of techniques to educate graduate students on the complexities of research and scholarly communication. At the same time, it will examine the importance of offering them spaces and tools for self-learning at their own pace in order to mentor, shape, and to educate their research minds while addressing the emotional factors involved in graduate research. Self-learning tools like mini-tutorials and targeted zoom sessions or the use of active learning in building the search string query prove to be exceptional to support graduate students, especially at research-oriented institutions.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify, discuss, and evaluate some of the most important and valuable research on information literacy for graduate students
- Participants will be able to gather and comprehend some successful strategies for building outreach with graduate students and adapt them to their own needs
