Description

Join us for a webinar on how the Rutgers University New Brunswick Libraries are using an innovative graduate specialist program to scale research support services, support doctoral and master's student career development, and enrich cross-campus relationships.

First piloted in 2018, with seed money for two graduate specialists, the Rutgers program has grown today to include six specialists, focusing on research skills in quantitative research, qualitative research, GIS, and digital humanities. The graduate specialists, who are New Brunswick PhD and master’s students, with mentorship from Rutgers library staff, develop resources, webinars, and support materials for Rutgers researchers, enabling the library to expand its research support offerings. The students, in return, enhance their technical and soft skills and career opportunities.

This is an innovative program serving the library, the students, and also demonstrating the value of the library to new audiences across the campus.

This webinar will be of interest to anyone interested in cultivating positive campus partnerships and demonstrating the library’s value proposition, particularly library leaders, and librarians engaged in providing research support services. It will also be of interest to library staff who are interested in supporting career development opportunities for graduate students.
