Information seeking behavior of students in academic libraries
Authors

Abstract
Information seeking behavior refers to the
purposive search for information in response to a need. In academic libraries,
understanding how students locate, evaluate, and use information is crucial for
improving services, collection development, and information literacy
instruction. This study examines patterns of information seeking among
undergraduate and postgraduate students, identifies common resources used, and
assesses factors influencing search behavior. Data were collected through
structured questionnaires and interviews. Findings indicate that digital
resources and search engines dominate student preferences, though traditional
catalogues and librarian assistance remain valuable. The study concludes with
recommendations for enhancing academic library services.
