“…Literature is amply available on information-seeking behaviors of users (researchers, students and faculty) across diverse contexts (Cathro et al, 2017;Dukic and Striskovic, 2015;Fidzani, 1998;Leduc and d'Opale, 2015;Majid and Tan, 2002;Masrek and Gaskin, 2016;Nujoud, Shaw and Courtney, 2016;Perpetua, 2005).
