  • Information Seeking Behavior: An Introductory Examination. Park, Betsy Behavior Theories College Libraries Education Majors Educational Research Graduate Students Higher Education Information Seeking Information Sources Information Utilization Literature Reviews Questionnaires Statistical Distributions Surveys This investigation of information seeking behavior focuses on three behaviors: (1) how people gather information in academic or work environments; (2) the sources they use; and (3) how their behavior relates to the library and its resources. This paper provides a review of the literature on information seeking from 1981 to 1986, a report on a survey of the information seeking behavior of 25 graduate students in a course on educational research at Memphis State University (Tennessee), and reflections upon the implications of Perry's developmental stage theory for information seeking behavior. The survey instrument and a 30-item reference list are attached. (RP)
