England, Erica; Lo, Leo S.; Breaux, Arleene P.
Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning, v12 n1-2 p3-12 2018
This case study presents the development and implementation of a personal librarian program for a cohort-based, executive-style higher education administration doctoral program. Librarians and the program director collaborated to create a student-centered program based on individual research needs. The personal librarian program was designed to build a close relationship between the librarian and individual students; to help identify their research knowledge gaps; and to identify resources to meet each individual students' research needs.
