Anita Dewi is currently pursuing her PhD in Information Studies. Her PhD project investigates how students, industry host supervisors, professional accreditation bodies, and university placement coordinators view placement programs.
The scope of research is undergraduate and postgraduate librarianship, archives, and records management student placements in Australia, within the period of 2020 to 2023. To add to the mix, the COVID-19 pandemic that occurs during this period has brought about difficulties in organising placement programs. This is also acknowledged and investigated as one of the research questions in the study. In addition to bringing impact on the current and future placement programs in the areas of libraries, archives, and records, findings of the study are expected to also maintain and potentially enhance the mutual benefits amongst the stakeholders involved. Anita is very much looking forward to sharing findings from her work with the wider library community after completing her PhD.
