导论.科学信息资源提供领域的最新发展将我们引向一个关键的研究问题，即在撰写博士论文时，免费提供的信息源的覆盖范围是什么，以及学术图书馆是否可以承担起作为信息用户的直接中介的主导作用。方法：2015年夏季对博士论文进行引文分析。2014年底，维尔纽斯大学共选出39篇论文（参考文献6 998篇）进行答辩（占所有答辩论文的30%）。论文是从不同的研究领域随机选择的：人文科学，社会科学，生物医学科学，技术科学和物理科学。分析。研究小组的任务是确定某些资源是否可以在学术图书馆的电子目录中找到，其订阅数据库，免费在线（通过Google或Google Scholar），或者图书馆订阅数据库中的资源是否与免费提供的资源相同。数据收集过程包括期刊论文、印刷和电子书籍或书籍章节以及其他文件（法律的报告、会议论文、报纸文章、网站、论文等）等资源类别。结论.图书馆藏书和订阅数据库可涵盖博士论文所用全部信息资源的80%。这项研究得出的最重要的结论之一是，在所有利用的信息资源中，平均有一半以上（57%）是免费提供的，或者是在没有图书馆支持的情况下获得的。我们可以假设，图书馆作为信息用户的直接中介，在博士生寻找信息的十次尝试中只有四次是潜在的重要和不可替代的。
Introduction. Recent developments in the field of scientific information resource provision lead us to the key research question, namely,what is the coverage of freely available information sources when writing doctoral theses, and whether the academic library can assume the leading role as a direct intermediator for information users. Method.Citation analysis of doctoral theses was conducted in the summer of 2015. A total of thirty-nine theses (with 6,998 references) defended at Vilnius University at the end of 2014 was selected (30 per cent of all defended theses). Theses were randomly chosen from different research fields: the humanities, social sciences, biomedical sciences, technological sciences, and physical sciences. Analysis.The research team was tasked with identifying whether certain resources could be found in the eCatalogue of an academic library, its subscribed databases, freely available online (through Google or Google Scholar), or whether the resources from the library`s subscribed databases are identical to those which are freely available. The data gathering process included such resource categories as journal papers, printed and electronic books or book chapters, and other documents (legal reports, conference papers, newspaper articles, Websites, theses, etc.). Conclusions. Library collections and subscribed databases could cover up to 80 per cent of all information resources used in doctoral theses. Among the most significant findings to emerge from this study is the fact that on average more than half (57 per cent) of all utilised information resources were freely available or were accessed without library support. We may presume that the library as a direct intermediator for information users is potentially important and irreplaceable only in four out of ten attempts of PhD students to seek information.
