%X Academic references such as books, journals, thesis and  dissertations are essential for students’ academic activities. Mostly,  even not all, good quality of academic journals are written in  English especially some academic journals which have high  reputation in the world such as several academic journals from  Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge and other qualified academic journals  issued by universities or academic associations. Unfortunately,  Indonesian university students have low English skills that hamper  them to use English academic references in their thesis. In fact, the  causes of the lack of using English references is not only their low  English skills but also low reading habit, lack of writing  experiences, and curriculum which does not ask students to read  and write more.

In this study, the researcher employs qualitative research  method by using interview and studying the printed report of  students’ academic works in Library Department, Faculty of  Cultural Studies, State Islamic University Sunan Kalijaga  Yogyakarta.
