Produktbeschreibung
Use of library and information resources and services has been a concern from the time libraries changed from being cultural monuments to knowledge acquisition and information communication centres. In view of these developments librarians conceived the idea of educating the library user in finding and locating information they need on their day-today activities. Libraries collect information resources and make them available to the public or a speci¿c community. However, little has been done to date to investigate what causes students to decide to use or not use various library resources. What can librarians and instructors do to encourage successful student use of library resources? The purpose of this study is to get a deeper understanding of the undergraduate student information seeking process from start to ¿nish, and identify factors that in¿uence this behavior. This study will identify where students report starting their research, what resources they tend to use, what attributes they report valuing in their sources, in what physical location they generally conduct their work, and whether they seek help from library staff.
