No social media 
please, we’re 
researchers! 
Robert Gordon university 
MSc Dissertation 
Shazia Arif
Background 
Investigation into the use of social networking 
tools by PhD researchers throughout their 
doctoral activities at Brunel University
Aims 
“We need to understand 
learners’ personal 
digital literacies before 
ploughing into 
'supporting' them”. 
(White, 2012) 

Academic research cycle
#StudentVoices
I use the tools 
where I feel they 
benefit me but 
am not a slave 
to tech. 
Training and 
advice in how 
and why and 
when to use 
would be FAB!! 
I am not using 
social media as of 
now but believe 
they will be 
supportive tool as 
a researcher. 
I rely 
heavily on 
sharing 
sites such 
as Dropbox 
I'm quite 
comfortable in 
using the ones I 
need 
These tools are 
not effective for 
obtaining or 
disseminating 
research material
Conclusion 
 Important role for 
libraries/librarian 
 Digital literacy 
sessions focusing on 
social networking 
tools should be 
offered 
 Tailor them to the 
needs of PhD students
