Abstract:

Information seeking is a process that involves searching, need identification, presenting, extracting, filtering, and selecting information. Therefore, for information-seeking behavior to be effective, users need to follow this procedure of accessibility of materials, and sources of knowledge, accurately filter information, extract the required information, and present quality and appropriate information. Evaluating information-seeking behavior among undergraduate students is critical in supporting their use and access to information sources to attain their information needs. The research focuses on undergraduate students' methods when searching for information resources in the Kuwait academic library database. Therefore, this research aims to help undergraduate students at Kuwait University improve their information-seeking behavior and ensure they find the most appropriate information when accessing the library database.
