Coalition for Networked InformationCNI
Focuses on innovations in the digital environment for research, teaching and learning
Promotes partnerships between and among sectors, e.g. librarians, information technologists, faculty, presses, media producers
Shares information broadlyAn early supporter of ETDs
Focus
What will our graduates be doing as professionals?
How is research and scholarship changing?
What can we do to support the evolving needs of graduate students and future professionals and scholars?

Graduate Studies Trends
“Taught” graduate students have increased 77% in the UK in the past 11 years
They constitute 20% of UK H.E. students in contrast to research graduate students at 5%
Many “taught” graduate students are foreign students in Master’s programs

After the Ph.D.
Report from U.S. Council of Graduate Schools
Of all new doctorate recipients, 1/3 enter government, business, or non-profit jobs after the degree
In health, engineering, & science, over ½ work outside of academe after the Ph.D.

After the Ph.D.
At the American Historical Association’s 2012 conference, the President and Executive Director urged graduate students and departments to “get over” the idea that it’s a tenure-track job or failure.
They ask why not train graduate students to take advantage of other opportunities (often involving technology)

Alternate career paths
There is increasing recognition that many graduate students will not become full-time faculty
Digital information skills can help students find jobs in administration, software development, grant writing, government, and project management

Our graduates are all members of theinformation society
Students will need to collaborate, innovate, communicate
They will need information and technical skills to use in discipline-related work
It is not common for the thesis and dissertation process to support development of these skills

Support for data-driven scholarship and research
Many faculty continue to use traditional research methods
Graduate students may need support in the process of digital scholarship, leading to a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation
Librarians and IT professionals can provide support

What can NDLTD members do to accelerate change?
Leverage the ETD process as an experience in digital authorship
Work within your institutional, college, or departmental culture to develop mechanisms to educate graduate students about digital authorship
