Dear Colleagues:

I am a professor at the University of Georgia who is conducting a study of how academics use, store, and find references. I have a short 5 question questionnaire that tries to get some base line data.

If you could take a quick look at these questions and respond briefly I would very much appreciate it. All responses will be kept confidential,no names will be used. Please send your responses to gitlin@uga.edu or post on ELMAR

All the best

Andrew Gitlin

  1. How do you organize the references that you use for a specific paper?
  2. How do you organize the references that you collect and save for future work?
  3. Do you use any desktop or online tools for storing and organizing references electronically?
  4. How do you communicate with others about references? (e.g. Do you share references with colleagues? How do you learn about new research?)
  5. Do you use online tools for communicating about research with others? If so, which ones and why? If not, what keeps you from using some of the online social networking sites and other tools that currently exist.
