Abstract

Many information channels are available to students, but it is now clear how students select and use them. Reports results of a study of the information seeking behaviour of students at 2 US universities: the American University; and the District of Columbia University. The study aimed to investigate: the information channels used by students when they work on course related projects and how they select the channels; how they use ALADIN, an augmented OPAC that provides access to the holdings of the Washington Research Library Consortium and several commercial online databases; and how selected characteristics of students are related to their use of information channels. Students identified convenience and quality of data as the top 2 factors in their choice of information channel. Affirms the value of librarians and of formal information channels, suggests ways to augment the online catalogue, and reminds librarians that equal access to information technology does not necessarily lead to equal use
