This paper examines how history graduate students at one research university seek information and how they use the university library in their information-seeking process. The general question framing the study was whether graduate students in history demonstrate the same information-seeking behavior as established scholars. Related questions explored the use of new technologies and the reliance that history graduate students place on reference librarians and librarians in special collections.
