Abstract

iSchool doctoral students represent a diverse and growing community of information science and technology (IST) researchers. Each doctoral student manages his/her own IST career from admissions to graduation, using personal and varied methods of information management. As a result, lessons learned by students are not easily transmitted to each other. In this poster, we describe our design and development of an online doctoral student community that offers a single place for doctoral students to manage their daily graduate life from administration and course work to research and collaboration.
