This study aims to determine how the utilization of printed and electronic information sources in the preparation of student’s thesis in Library and Information Science Department (LISD) of Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta. This descriptive research used a citation analysis method applied in the student theses of LISD in 2014-2016. The result showed that on average each thesis utilized 32 sources of information which were mostly printed. Nearly half of them were books in the 2006-2011 edition with a life span of 9-11 years. While the most frequently used serial source of information was the issue of 2012--2016 with a life span of 7.18 years. In a printed format, Sulistyo Basuki was the author whose work was dominantly used. The utilization of electronic information sources only occupied a small portion of the total information resources used. However, only a small part of them utilized e-books or e-journals. The author suggested that the LISD Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta can provide additional stimulus, either through the courses of Information literacy that has been running, as well as general lectures. Besides, the university should issue other policies that encourage the students to improve the utilization of information sources in the form of journals.
