Library liaisons from three universities distributed an anonymous survey to graduate occupational therapy students to gauge preferred methods of communication when conducting research. This article discusses three findings: whom the students prefer to turn to when seeking research assistance, which methods of communication students prefer, and how long students spend searching before asking for assistance. From 193 responses, the liaisons reasoned that students prefer consulting with their peers before seeking help from librarians or faculty or instructors and they prefer assistance face-to-face. Additionally, the majority are willing to research from 30 min to one hour before seeking research help.
三所大学的图书馆联络员向研究生职业治疗学生分发了一份匿名调查，以衡量他们在进行研究时首选的沟通方式。本文讨论了三个发现：学生在寻求研究帮助时更倾向于求助谁，学生更喜欢哪种沟通方式，以及学生在寻求帮助前需要搜索多长时间。从 193 份回复中，联络员推断出学生在寻求图书馆员、教师或指导员的帮助之前，更愿意与同学交流，他们更喜欢面对面的帮助。此外，大多数人愿意在寻求研究帮助前进行 30 分钟到 1 小时的研究。
