This study analyzes citations by first-year students to determine
what content they were citing and whether it was available
through the open web or the library. Examining the role
of these two places as content providers for academic work
fills a gap in the literature. Most of the cited works were available
through the library and the open web. As the line
between content providers continues to blur, these results
can help academic libraries prioritize what to teach students
about information literacy, where to focus collection development
efforts, and how to promote the discovery of
library resources.
