Abstract
ABSTRACTUniversity students often struggle to find, use, and cite research effectively. Using interviews with faculty, students, and librarians in Kazakhstan’s capital city (n = 21), this study explores how humanities and social science students conduct research in the Eurasian context and how librarians can best support them. Students and faculty report a need for help finding, evaluating, understanding, and citing research as well as challenges in accessing research materials given their isolation from publishing centers in Europe and North America. Rebranding Central Asian librarians as research coaches may allow librarians to operate as faculty rather than as Soviet-era guardians of printed books.
