Although we give library instruction in graduate courses per request,we reach a small number of students this way. Others will see us oneon-one,but we’re still missing the majority. Nearly all Boot Campersare unknown to us, which means they’ve had no formal graduatelibrary instruction prior to writing the biggest project of their academiclives.To this end, we offered two new strategy-based workshops, whichwe propose to outline as one single-session presentation at USETDAunder the category of “Student Support and Training” (ImpactfulETD Processing).In Boot Camp, Session One covers data management: physical andvirtual workspace organization, file structure, online data storage andbackups. The emphasis here is on where to put data and how to saveit. Online programs covered include free word processing softwaresuch as Google Docs, Word Online, Shutterbug, and Zoho Docs andcloud storage services such as Google Drive, Microsoft’s OneDrive,Mac’s iCloud Storage, Amazon storage, Box and Dropbox.Session Two of Boot Camp addresses research and citation management.Revamped to include the Association of College and ResearchLibraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Framework’s concepts, wepresent systematic research as a transferable skill, not an isolated casetied to one course or problem. This workshop incorporates criticalthinking into showing students how to construct a search; how tokeep on top of research through folders, feeds, and alerts; and how tomanage citations via Mendeley.After the presentation and discussion, attendees should be able torecognize the significant function librarians perform in a targetedprogram such as Boot Camp convey the value of formal, timelyintervention for graduate students assess the benefits of linking ouroverall methodology to the ACRL Framework replicate our offeringsto support their students at the point of need, and beyond.
