| description | The business of higher education is knowledge-driven which is dependent on information. Knowing how to access information therefore is very important. Information seeking behaviour can be understood as the way and manner people search for and utilize information for personal use, knowledge updating and development. It is the drive that opens up access to information, data and knowledge utilisation and dissemination. Universities across the world are an embodiment of knowledge processing and dissemination inherent in their academic and research programmes but these activities will not be possible without the availability and the use of necessary information. With set objectives, the study sought to examine the information seeking behaviour of undergraduate students of the Navrongo campus of the University for Development Studies. Information gathering could be a challenging and an arduous task for students in tertiary institutions with the maze of information available nowadays. The study revealed that students had both personaland academic information needs with the latter dominating. |
