Aim: The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about the way in which students use the electronic bibliography when looking for their positions. These investigations are designed to indicate the most intuitive bibliographic description style from the student's level. It is also to contribute to the improvement of the aesthetics of the ways of publishing the subject bibliography presented in the didactic support services and in the electronic management systems of students and academic staff.
Research method: The study in question was conducted using a mobile eye tracker, operating in infrared technology and 60 Hz frequency, on the group of students of Information Architecture. In order to achieve a balanced degree of complexity for different bibliographic styles, the experiment, apart from using the eye tracker, also included a questionnaire concerning detailed questions in the field of particular elements of the bibliographic description. The study used the Vancuver style, Traditional Polish agreement with the norm (PN-ISO 690: 2002 and PN ISO 690 2) mixed and the style based only on network resources.
Results/Conclusions: These are pilot studies, and their results will be presented on the example of the USOS website, which is used at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun.
