In this paper, we describe our preliminary findings of our multi‐site study on researchers' use of online scholarly tools. Using surveys and in‐depth interviews, our study will provide information professionals and scholars a 360‐degree panorama of the ways social media is impacting the dissemination and evaluation of scholarly research. At the visual presentation session, we will present the statistical results and analysis of our data, as well as individual case stories exemplifying the main findings. Additionally, we will have an activity where our audience can participate in the same card sorting exercise that study subjects did, and compare their results with the study participants, to better understand the value of various scholarly activities.
