Abstract
Citation manager software is used by researchers and students to store, organize, and cite bibliographic references. These data are the results of a survey administered to faculty and research assistants at the University of Minnesota in August-September 2015. The survey received 787 responses and includes data on current citation manager usage among researchers, digital storage needs for references, and desired software features. These data were collected to inform library support of citation managers.
