- Designing an Online Graduate Community for Research Practice: Going beyond Single Purpose Design Ziegenfuss, Donna Harp Graduate Students Student Research Online Searching Information Sources Information Seeking Academic Libraries Masters Theses Doctoral Dissertations COVID-19 Pandemics Communities of Practice Electronic Learning Student Needs Needs Assessment Sustainability Providing library research support for graduate students during a thesis/dissertation or capstone project is a scaffolded and long-term process. Librarians meet with students several times as they journey through this liminal space to becoming scholars. Currently, COVID-19 adds to this already high-stakes and stressful experience.
