Canadian graduate student enrollment is increasing and academic librarians must support this diverse group. How do graduate students approach research? What are their stumbling blocks? What do they need from librarians in order to succeed? We spoke to graduate students in the social sciences and have uncovered the answers to these questions. In this session, we will share the results of our research which have both informed and streamlined our instruction practice.
