Crafting proper citations is an expectation in most humanities and social sciences classes. However, despite abundant resources ranging from citation style LibGuides to citation management software to stand/alone library instruction in a variety of styles, students continue to struggle with creating citations. This presentation will report on preliminary research exploring the underlying reasons for low citation literacy based on student focus groups alongside an analysis of student citations. The goal is to identify new approaches in library instruction that can be adopted to improve students’ confidence and proficiency in creating citations.
