- Humanizing the Doctorate for Librarians: Benefits, Challenges, and Support Systems Mihoko Hosoi Danica E. White Kathleen Phillips Librarians State Universities Academic Libraries Librarian Attitudes Doctoral Students Doctoral Degrees Doctoral Programs Graduates Educational Benefits Educational Attainment Barriers Knowledge Level Achievement Gains Academic Aspiration Credibility Academic Rank (Professional) Collegiality Research Skills Humanization In this qualitative case study, we conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 16 Pennsylvania State University librarians who hold, or are considering pursuing, a doctoral degree. Through a thematic analysis using NVivo, we found that the benefits of earning a doctorate included gaining credibility, building relationships with teaching faculty, enhancing research skills, and obtaining a sense of accomplishment. Challenges were primarily related to time management and financial constraints. Supportive advisors and a synergy between library work and doctoral research are important. Libraries benefit from increased knowledge of librarians and can support their doctoral aspirations through financial assistance and flexible work arrangements.
