Collaborating with Faculty to Assess Research Consultations for Graduate Students

Due to the time commitment on the part of the librarian to schedule, prepare, and execute effective research consultations, it is important to continue to evaluate how these consultations impact student learning. The purpose of this investigation was to assess graduate students\u27 perceptions of their learning as a result of working individually with a librarian in a research consultation.
