This guide is organized by types of resources that may correspond to different stages of the doctoral thesis. Use the menu on the left to explore ways the library can support your project.

Meet with a Librarian

Librarians are here to partner with you at any stage of your project.

The BPL Library Staff is always eager to aid doctoral students. Librarians can:

  • Brainstorm your project idea with you and identify the areas of the BPL collection that would support your idea
  • Guide you in developing a search strategy to find the best materials for your project.
  • Assist you with eResources access (eBooks, journal articles, databases)
  • Highlight resources for each stage of the project, from design to editing.

Librarians are glad to meet with you in-person or via Zoom. To contact a librarian, email paynelib@vts.edu. The library staff is here to serve and resource your studies.
