Produktbeschreibung

The study of information seeking behaviour of faculty members especially in developing countries has been a significant and eventful issue from last few decades. The reasons have been the growth of information. The current ambit of information atmosphere is rich, characterized by an explosion of information sources and providers, a multiplicity of methods for accessing information and a redundancy of content from multiple sources. Developments in information and communication technologies have been responsible for information explosion. Due to the information explosion the faculty members face many difficulties to locate, evaluate, use and communicate information. It is assumed that the faculty members gather information from different sources. Many electronic resources are now available and the increase in information available on the web has affected information seeking behaviour. Thus information seeking behaviour is the purposive seeking for information as a consequence of a need to satisfy some goal.
