Researchers of Tomorrow: A three year (BL/JISC) study tracking the research behaviour of 'Generation Y' doctoral students.
Were you born between 1982 and 1994?
Does your doctorate start in 2008 or 2009?
If the answer to both these questions is yes, read on!
Education for Change (Ef C) is managing a research study for the British Library and the JISC to investigate the information seeking and research behaviour of doctoral students born between 1982 and 1994 – commonly dubbed ‘Generation Y'.
We need volunteers to take part in a longitudinal research study over 2½ years of about 70 full‐time UK doctoral students from all subject disciplines, which will track your information‐seeking behaviour and your changing attitudes to your research. We want to find out how you do your research, how and when you use libraries, information and research resources both online and off.
Being involved in our study will offer you interesting and valuable opportunities to share your own research experiences and exchange ideas with other doctoral students in the study. You’re likely to be familiar with web‐ based technologies already so we think you’ll enjoy using these to feed us with your views and get to know your fellow researchers.
There will be get‐togethers at the British Library in London, where you’ll meet each other and get to know one of the world's greatest research libraries, and there will be free opportunities to attend events and take advantage of the Library’s facilities and services.
If this interests you, please get in touch immediately. You can email Louise Wetheridge at l.wetheridge@efc.co.uk or
telephone 020 7247 3370.
