[Web4lib] Citation Management Software - University/Library usage

[Mark Allan]

Folks - 

In the hope of acquiring some sort of citation management software/service for our University, I need to come up with some information.  Can anyone suggest a source or has access to information regarding the usage of citation management software ( reference management software ) throughout the U.S. academic community or perhaps worldwide?  I'm looking for percentages or numbers, or in the absence of that - even "best guesses!" I'm also interested in the number of libraries that have implemented this service. Finally, I'm looking for the scope of its use - is it made available to Freshmen, or primarily upper-division, grad students?

My apologies for cross-posting.

Mark
