LFA Seminar Series April 13th - OSU Graduate Students Scholarly Landscape and Institutional repository needs

This is the second talk of the series, titled Oregon State University Graduate Students' Scholarly landscape and institutional repository needs, given by Hui Zhang and Michaella Willi Hooper. 

Abstract: Hui Zhang and Michaella Willi Hooper will describe the work they did with a Robert Lundeen Library Faculty Development Award. The study seeks to address the following questions: What are the research practices and needs of graduate students? How can new library services and features reduce the gap between graduate student needs and current IR services and features? Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with eight graduate students from different disciplines. The results were analyzed using the constant comparative method, and four themes emerged: (1) varied perspectives on data sharing, (2) confusion over intellectual property inhibits open sharing, (3) incentivizing institutional repositories through researcher profiles and (optional) social features, and (4) the need for centralized training on and access to research productivity tools. Student perspectives on these themes are presented in the results section, and some potential applications for this research are outlined in the discussion.
