Session abstract: MLIS students frequently engage in online discussions with each other as they journey towards becoming information professionals who are ready to contribute to their communities in today’s workplaces. These online discussions are rich sources of data about their learning experiences and about their trajectories towards professional readiness in the library and information sciences. Using template analysis methodology to analyze student chat in online discussions was shown to be an effective approach to explore student learning experiences as evidenced in written reflections and externalized in discourse with their peers.
