Abstract
Librarians have historically been responsible for the organization and management of the stores of human knowledge and for ensuring information literacy among researchers. In recent years, however, librarians have been removed from researchers and the research process for a variety of reasons. The problem that was addressed in this study is that librarians do not have sufficient information about the research practices and preferences of doctoral students enrolled in distance programs. The purpose of this study was to gain information about the differences in research behaviors and preferences among doctoral students in distance and residential programs.
