What does a Research Librarian know how to do?
Research Librarians are worth their weight in gold, esp. for doctoral students seeking scholarly and recent literature pertaining to their research topic. Research Librarians are experts in their field by knowing where and how to find relevant articles available online and offline.
Higher education students require a significant amount of recent (within 5 years), scholarly (peer-reviewed), and relevant articles and sources for the literature review that informs and supports topic development - including the problem, gap, and to justify the need for research. When students have difficulty locating the needed literature, Librarians provide an essential service - much like dissertation coaches, research methodologists, statisticians, and editors.
As a doctoral dissertation chair/advisor, professor, and coach I often refer students to the university’s Librarian to determine whether and how literature can be located. However, if the research topic is too narrow or too broad, then located the optimal number of acceptable sources my not be possible. In such cases, Librarians - along with the students Chair/Advisor can assist with adjusting the topic, as needed.
