There seems to be an endless stream of things to do and not enough
time to do it. The pressures to succeed and compete for opportunities
are greater than ever. No worthy accomplishment is realized without
sacrifice. Take this time to work on your plan. Students can talk to
mentors about their specific needs. Or you may need to build or revise
your resume. In this session, you can get advice about graduate school
or talk to someone about academic challenges. Take advantage of the
opportunity to leave the conference with a solid plan for achieving your
goals and a few key things checked off of your list.
At the end of this seminar, college students will be able to:
a. Talk to potential mentors or coaches
b. Work on resume building strategies
c. A ccess support for navigating academic pressures, schedules, and
choices
d. E xplore plans and “to do” items for the graduate school application
process
e. Share personal school and career game plan
In 2014, librarians at Washington University in St. Louis developed an annual research conference for advanced graduate students in the Humanities. This conference was inspired by the desire to connect to graduate students at the dissertation stage as librarians had observed a gap in librarian-graduate student interactions between the first years of graduate school and when students embark on their own dissertation research. Librarians discovered that graduate students often struggle in isolation with similar research questions as well as project management and dissertation writing; thus, we aptly entitled the conference “You’re in Good Company: A Mini-Conference for Advanced Graduate Students in the Humanities.” We will share the make-up of the conference, gathering input on session offerings, funding considerations, marketing, assessment, and administrative needs.
Our presentation will focus in part on the variety of sessions we have been able to offer and our collaborations with faculty and other campus partners. Sessions included not only advanced research skills but also hands-on workshops for technologies such as Zotero, Scrivener, and mobile apps. Faculty presented sessions about dissertation writing, time management strategies, tips for getting published and funded, as well as their own personal experiences.
The conference demonstrated the value of the library to the university community as You’re in Good Company will be in its third year and appears to be filling a void to further research skills, discovery of Humanities resources, and awareness of new technologies. We will also share our developing body of conference video and audio recordings. Finally, we will present recommendations to assist other librarians interested in developing a similar conference.
