New in IslandScholar profile is an option for Scholars to indicate if they are or are not seeking graduate-level research students/trainees as research supervisors.

If you hold an IslandScholar profile, and are interested in updating that IslandScholar profile to indicate if you currently are or are not seeking research graduate students/trainees, read on for details on how.

Robertson Library and Grad Studies have developed a short primer on how to submit a request to add this to your IslandScholar profile, including preview views on how each selected status would display. Status options span: do not display (current default), no (not seeking student/trainees), and yes with the options for masters-level only, doctoral-level only, or both masters & doctoral level.  

Primer: IslandScholar - Seeking Students Profile Option

Note - Requests for IslandScholar profile updates are completed manually, expect 2-3 business days before a change is implemented to a Scholar profile.

For questions about updating this option of the IslandScholar profile, contact: Keri McCaffrey, One Health and Scholarly Communications Librarian at knmccaffrey@upei.ca
