| « Questions for faculty interviews | A different approach: UIUC planning for new library service models » |
At the recent Town Hall, I shared our plans to interview recommended graduate students. We are interested in your input for developing the final list of questions to be asked at the interviews early next year.
Please comment with revisions or additions to this starter list for graduate students:
1. Please describe the traditional and new kinds of information or information sources you and other scholars in your field are using.
2. In what ways could Berkeley improve your ability to use these types of information and sources?
3. How are graduate students in your field organizing and sharing information?
4. How would you describe the types of scholarship researchers in your field will be producing in the next five to ten years?
5. What do you think will ultimately be the impact of the web on scholarly publishing in your field of research?
6. What kinds of support services (such as consulting, training, technology) do you believe will be useful for supporting your research & teaching in the next five to ten years?

To leave out the physical space aspect is to neglect grad students' physical presence on campus, which should remain a goal. Continuing to encourage physical presence on campus serves the greater good of others interacting with them and the campus remaining a vital space for new ideas.
The question could go something like:
"How do you utilize the physical space in the Libraries you frequent? How would you like to utilize them? What is lacking?"
