Information Source Preferences of Education Graduate Students
Earp, Vanessa J.
Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian, v27 n2 p73-91 2008
In recent decades the literature dealing with graduate students and library use, including bibliographic instruction, information-seeking behavior, and information literacy has grown. However, there still appears to be a lack of research and resources available on the information-seeking behavior skills of graduate education students, which can help guide instructional practices and collection development decisions. This pilot study attempted to capture information on graduate education students' research strategies and source preferences. (Contains 4 tables.)
