User Needs (Information) Citations (References) Bibliographies Library Instruction Academic Libraries Research Universities Users (Information) Troubleshooting College Faculty College Students Preferences Computer Software Selection Help Seeking Technical Support Citation management programs are tools used to organize references and to create citations and bibliographies. Libraries are often the central point for providing training and support in using these tools. To determine how we could improve our support and training services, we surveyed users to determine what software in being used, why they chose that particular program, what features are important, and how they use citation management programs to collaborate. Results indicate that users chose a particular program because it was freely available or recommended to them by others and that they thought that importing references and creating citations were important features. We also found a majority of respondents used citation management programs to collaborate and turned to the library for training and support. |
