Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate students’ perceptions of an embedded librarian in a Doctor of Business Administration program at a private, Catholic, doctoral-granting university in the Southeast. Quantitative methods were used via an online anonymous survey invitation sent to 137 DBA students using university email addresses. There were 44 students who completed the survey for a 32% response rate. Results of the study indicated almost all students perceived the embedded librarian as helping them complete coursework and improve their research and citation abilities. Students preferred synchronous methods of instruction but only by a small margin compared to asynchronous. Their preferred method of communication was by email and Zoom meetings, and the most common reason for seeking support was research. The results of this study provided valuable insights that may assist academic librarians in understanding how to best provide support for doctoral students.
