Can Our Relationships be Reconceptualized? Librarians, Information Literacy, And Doctoral Learners (Report‪)‬

Introduction Nations depend on their research capacity and knowledge production for social, cultural, and economic well being. Doctoral programs offer a principal means of training new researchers to create and apply new knowledge. In the doctoral education environment, communities of doctoral researchers are formed as candidates and academics collaborate formally and informally in projects that are developed and conducted in person and via global communication systems. Globalization enables doctoral communities to cross disciplines, universities, and countries; librarians and library educators are often entrenched within doctoral communities through teaching, learning, research, and practice.
