Abstract: This paper summarizes an exploratory research study on the
information-seeking habits of graduate student researchers in the
humanities. In-depth interviews with a small sample of humanities graduate
students were used to explore to what extent humanities graduate students
might constitute a user group distinct from faculty and undergraduate
models.
