Conclusion
Main hypothesis - PROVEN the number of web references in the graduate papers of students of information
sciences at the Faculty increased over the given period - from 2003 to 2010
Second hypothesis (scientific journals are referred more than monographs ) - not accurate
unforeseen results Wikipedia articles were referred the most alarming frequency of incorrect citations
possible prediction the usage of web references by (graduate) students will continue to grow
research can easily be continued
