“…The digital immigrant students' dependence on the Library is low, the evidence is expressed by Y 112 indicator, the low level of reading printed library collections in the library (0.688), and by Y 121 indicator, the lowest level of looking for digital information of IPB University Library collections (0.601). Students often do not know the available resources in the library (Liu et al, 2018).…”

The abundant of information on the internet has become a competitor for libraries as information service providers. Therefore to survive and thrive, the libraries must change and adopt to a rapidly evolving external environment. Understanding user information seeking behaviour is very useful for redesigning various services that suit to user needs. The objectives of this study were: 1). To analyze the characteristics of digital natives and digital immigrants of IPB University students related to their information seeking behaviour; 2). To develop a model of information seeking behaviour of both digital natives and digital immigrants of IPB University students based on structural equation modeling. The study was mainly quantitative and questionnaire was designed to study students’ information-seeking behaviour. The findings showed that the dominant behaviours and preferences of digital natives in their information seeking behaviour were influenced by environmental variables, especially the availability of information. For the information seeking behaviour variables of students, the dominant indicator were asking for printed and digital information to the lecturer. While for immigrant digital students their information seeking behaviour were dominantly influenced by environmental variables, especially the availability of information. The indicators for information seeking behaviour of digital immigrant student were dominated by asking printed information to friends, and requesting digital information to the lecturer. The success of getting information is dominant in the speed-of-getting-information indicator, both for digital natives and digital immigrant students.

“…Do students still need library services in the digital age? Accorrding to Liu et al (2018), the internet is the main source of information used by students, even for college assignments. The use of search engines is very dominant even for academic scientific tasks that require a high level of knowledge.…”

“…The design of video retrieval interfaces and features should fit with the users’ information seeking behavior as the cognitive and affective components can influence the search process (Bilal, 2005). A study of college students found that the salient features in existing search systems that college students use were most helpful performing a search for their real-life information needs (Liu et al , 2018).…”

Purpose Keywords search is intuitive, simple to use and convenient. It is also the de facto input interface for textual and multimedia retrieval. However, individuals often perform poorly when faced with exploratory search tasks that are common during learning, resulting in poor quality searches. The purpose of this paper is to examine how adolescent learners search and select videos to support self-learning. The findings allow for the identification of design concepts of video retrieval interface and features that can facilitate better exploratory searches. Design/methodology/approach Participants were assigned two customized video search tasks. The think-aloud protocol is used to allow participants to verbalize their actions, thoughts and feeling. This approach offered rich insights to the participants’ cognitive processes and considerations when performing the search tasks. Findings This study identified five themes for exploratory video search behavior: selection of internet resources, query formulation/reformulation, selection of the video(s) for preview, getting acquainted with the video content, and making a decision for the search task. The analysis of these themes led to a number of design concepts, ranging from supporting exploration of topics to better interaction with metadata. Practical implications The findings can inform future development of dedicated video retrieval systems interfaces that seeks to facilitate effective exploratory searches by learners. Originality/value This study contributes by suggesting design concepts for video retrieval system developers to support exploratory video searches.

“…Ou encore que les approches de plus en plus critiques de l'éducation à l'information, pointant les effets du modèle économique de Google sur l'organisation et la légitimité des sources proposées, auraient dérangé l'ordre de consultation des portails d'accès et favorisé un retour franc vers les catalogues des bibliothèques. Ce n'est toujours pas le cas, notablement dans le premier cycle universitaire (Komissarov et Murray, 2016;Liu, Zamir, Li et Hastings, 2018). Le faible usage de Google Scholar est également remarqué chez ces étudiants.…”
