Abstract
This chapter presents the current research into doctoral community collaborations between faculty leaders and library and information science (LIS) professionals. The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled and fostered rapid decision-making solutions for remote doctoral library research and increasingly blurred the bounds between on ground, hybrid, and online doctoral education. Many solutions necessitated by the pandemic may continue post-pandemic to transform and strengthen the doctoral learning community through LIS and faculty collaboration for the research supports needed for quality doctoral research as well as the effective development of new investigators. Insights include the integration of collaborative digital platforms, enhanced remote access, deeper academic databases, and instructional strategies to enhance remote research supervision.
