X Abstract

Libraries serve three roles in the learning process (Marchionini 1995, 66). First, they play a practical role in sharing valuable resources. Although this is a general expectation of users, the digital library revolutionizes this sharing role by allowing people to access materials simultaneously regardless of their physical location. Second, libraries serve a cultural role in preserving and organizing artifacts and ideas. In this sense, libraries serve as reservoirs of information sources for the education of generations. Third, libraries serve a social and intellectual role by bringing people and ideas together. Digital libraries offer diverse information resources extending beyond the physical space shared by groups of learners. In theory, digital libraries bring together people with different learning missions.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
