Information Searching Behaviour in Efforts to Complete Postgraduate Students’ Theses

View through CrossRef
<p>Researchers found that University of Dehasen Bengkulu postgraduate students strongly favored online resources when seeking information. These students utilized platforms such as Google Scholar and Unived journals to meet their research needs due to the extensive information requirements of their studies and the restricted library collection. The study uncovers a consistent pattern in their information-seeking behavior using a qualitative and descriptive approach. Students usually begin by selecting their sources and then dedicate approximately 1-2 hours each day to searching, comparing information, and monitoring updates. Tasks such as verifying and extracting information were frequently neglected. The study concludes that the students' search strategies consist of initiating, chaining, browsing, differentiating, and monitoring. When searching for information, the processes of extracting and verifying are often neglected due to being deemed insignificant. All students engage in the conclusion phase when finalizing their information search. Postgraduate students exhibit strong skills in selecting suitable information sources, choosing relevant sources, employing effective search strategies, critically evaluating information, and synthesizing information from diverse sources.</p><p><em>Banyaknya informasi yang dibutuhkan mahasiswa pascasarjana, menjadikan mahasiswa menjadi makhluk yang sangat membutuhkan informasi.
