>As a student preparing for a career in research, you have two
>jobs: (1) do some good research, and (2) build a community around
>your research topic. This community is called your professional
>network. Unfortunately, many students neglect their networking;
>either they feel overwhelmed by short-term demands, or they
>associate networking with politics and manipulation, or they are
>working in a hierarchical environment that does not encourage
>individuals to act on their own. Yet building your professional
>network is the best way to ensure that your dissertation and
>other research publications will be read. It is also the best
>way to get a job once you graduate. The skills are easy enough
>with practice, but they are not at all obvious to beginners.
>
>"Networking on the Network" is a guide to professional networking
>for PhD students. Originally written for the students of the
>Department of Communication at the University of California,
>San Diego, it has been continuously expanded and revised for
>six years, incorporating comments from dozens of researchers in
>many fields. It includes detailed instructions for identifying
>individuals who should be part of your professional network,
>contacting and corresponding with those people, building your
>network at professional conferences, organizing events of your
>own, and citing others' work in your dissertation. It also
>includes a lengthy section on interviewing for academic jobs.
>
>"Networking on the Network" is free and available on the Web
>at <http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/network.html>.
>Please send any comments that might improve it, and pass it
>along to others who can use it.
>
>Thanks very much
