This study aimed to identify factors motivating individuals to earn a doctoral degree in library and information science. Data about doctoral student motivation was collected from first-year students through a survey, semi-structured interviews, and personal admission statements. Findings suggest five motivating factors: research-related interests, previous experience in academia, preparation for the future, appeal of the scholarly environment, and encouragement from others. Investigating student motivation informs program administrators, faculty, and prospective doctoral students of the future of graduate-level education. This study also addresses concerns about faculty supply, offering recommendations for improving the pipeline from graduate study to doctoral study to the academy.
