Information Seeking Behavior

The purpose of the present study is to know the information seeking behaviour among women students in digital environment in Government Degree Colleges in Rayalaseema, A.P., with regard to their resources, services and facilities available. It is intended to study in detail the information seeking behaviour among women students in Government Degree Colleges. The present study has been undertaken by the researcher, as there are limited studies conducted earlier in this area. From the related literature reviewed, it is obvious that the studies that were conducted on information seeking behaviour were on lecturers, farmers, house wives, children, doctors, lawyers, scientist geologists, etc. As it was felt that Under Graduate (UG) women students were not included for such type of study, particularly in the information playing vital role for human development in digital environment, the investigator intended to study the information seeking behaviour of final year women students in digital environment to know their needs, purposes and sources.
