ABSTRACT
Graduate students are expected to come into the program with good academic skills – able to absorb substantial amounts of complex material rapidly and continuously, able to write well and prolifically, and able to think independently while at the same time taking on board a large load of traditional orthodoxies. There are a host of good sources for advice on managing the graduate school experience. In addition to books and articles, easily findable through the web, there are other web-based resources offering up-to-the minute information and guidance on a wide range of subjects relating to almost every aspect of graduate school. Two of the best internet resources are the chronicle of higher education and inside higher education. The chronicle, a weekly tabloid-format publication, also appears each morning online. Both are a rich source of information about higher education in the US and internationally. Both the chronicle and inside higher education contain regular sections dealing with graduate education.
