Abstract
A team of Yale Universitylibrarians developed a research project to understand how humanities doctoral students were identifying, accessing, using, and organizing research materials, and what habits and research methodologies they had developed. In addition the project team attempted to identifychallenges, including workspace needs. Based on the findings, the team prepared recommendations on how the Yale University Library system can better support humanitiesdoctoral students and to help improve their academic success. Although these recommendationsare unique to Yale, other similar libraries may find them to be of use.
