GradShare (http://gradshare.com)
The GradShare website creates a national forum where graduate students can share their challenges to both get advice from peers and find solutions offered by their graduate school or library. This online student community allows graduate students to expand their academic support network by tapping the knowledge of other students, subject experts, and professors from across the country. Additionally, it supports their academic research needs by building ready access to authoritative information from their own library. GradShare resources offer guidance on the full breadth of the graduate experience, such as dissertation topic selection, grants, financial aid, and work-life balance. Moreover, students can find and share advice on research, writing, publishing, job search, and other topics that help them become more effective in their work. The Get Answers section contains user-generated content that allows peer mentoring, including sharing questions, answers, and bookmarks. Visitors can browse for answers to their questions by academic field and topic area. The Expert Advice section provides explanations and insights relating to graduate studies from experienced faculty members and administrators.
