Abstract

This research study investigates the use and awareness of reference management software (RMS) among community college students. An in-person survey was conducted in April and May 2017 at two mid-sized urban public community colleges in New York City. Researchers recruited 124 participants for this survey. The 13-item item survey instrument was designed to determine participants’ awareness and use of RMS. The results show a low awareness and use of RMS among c ommunity college students regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, field of study, undergraduate class level, English proficiency, or academic level. The article discusses areas for further research and suggests strategies for increasing RMS use and awareness among community college students.
