Abstract Information seeking behavior among students of Cinematography to produce film work, is motivated by a gap that can lead to information needs based on the interests of students of Cinematography. Information needs of students Cinematography UKM is based on information needs based on environmental factors, namely information relating to the storyline. In addition, most students of Cinematography UKM produce films with the theme of one's experience. To meet these needs, students of UKM Cinematography have obstacles in the process of finding information, this proves that students of UKM Cinematography carry out the process of finding information. This study aims to determine the description of information seeking behavior in students of cinematographic, therefore this study uses the Wilson-Ellis Information Seeking Behavior Model. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive method using total sampling technique. This study provides results regarding information related to the story line (65.6%) as the needs needed by Sinematogarfi UKM students, with the theme of one's experience (67.2%) which is done by conducting research (50.8%) first. The obstacle that is often experienced by students of UKM Cinematography is the difference of opinion (36.1%) when discussing with other UKM. For the references that are often used by students of UKM Cinematography, most of them are articles (73.8%) that are done at the browsing stage. In addition, seminars, workshops, film operations and film festivals (50.8%) are the preferred access for most students of Cinematography.Keywords: Information Searching Behavior; Information Needs; Student Cinematography AbstakPerilaku pencarian informasi di kalangan mahasiswa Sinematografi untuk menghasilkan karya film, dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya kesenjangan yang dapat menimbulkan kebutuhan informasi berdasarkan minat mahasiswa  Sinematografi. Kebutuhan informasi mahasiswa UKM Sinematografi didasarkan pada kebutuhan informasi yang didasarkan pada faktor lingkungan yaitu informasi yang berkaitan dengan jalan cerita. Selain itu, sebagian besar mahasiswa UKM Sinematografi memproduksi film bertema pengalaman sendiri. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut mahasiswa UKM Sinematografi mengalami kendala dalam proses pencarian informasi, hal ini membuktikan bahwa mahasiswa UKM Sinematografi melakukan proses pencarian informasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran perilaku pencarian informasi pada mahasiswa sinematografi, oleh karena itu penelitian ini menggunakan Model Perilaku Pencarian Informasi Wilson-Ellis. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Penelitian ini memberikan hasil mengenai informasi terkait alur cerita (65,6%) sebagai kebutuhan yang dibutuhkan oleh mahasiswa UKM Sinematogarfi, dengan tema pengalaman seseorang (67,2%) yang dilakukan terlebih dahulu dengan melakukan penelitian (50,8%). Kendala yang sering dialami mahasiswa UKM Sinematografi adalah perbedaan pendapat (36,1%) saat berdiskusi dengan UKM lain.

Seeking Behavior

“Entrepreneurial spirit has been described as the most important economic development stimulus in recent decades” (Chalhoub, 2011, p. 67). In the early 1990s it was estimated that small to medium sized enterprises SMEs employed 22% of the adult population in developing countries and the role of SMEs is viewed as increasingly important in developing countries because of their capacity to create jobs (Okello-Obura, Minishi-Majanja, Cleote, & Ikoja-Odongo, 2007, p. 369). According to Lingelback, de la Viña and Asel (2005), even though entrepreneurship has been linked to wealth and poverty in developing countries and has played an important role in growth and poverty alleviation, it is the least studied significant economic and social phenomenon in the world today. Examining how the information needs and information seeking behavior of entrepreneurs from developing countries may differ from entrepreneurs in developed countries is important as it has been suggested that “entrepreneurship in developing countries is distinctive from that practice in developed countries and that understanding these distinctions is critical to private sector development in developing countries” (Lingelback, de la Vina, & Asel, 2005, p. 2). A review of the studies produced thus serves as a beginning for designing information packages and information services that can benefit a global population. Consequently, this chapter targets the information needs and information seeking behavior of entrepreneurs revealed in studies associated with SMEs in both developed and developing countries and offers conclusions and recommendations for meeting the information needs of this population.

Usage Preference

The Internet is considered to be one of the most effective search channels for people to get a variety of information. This is especially true, for young tourists within the 18-30 year range, who prefer free independent travel tours. Many tend to have strong information needs about their travel destinations and the use of mobile technology for information search is rapidly becoming a popular trend, especially with this demographic. This study aims to investigate the associations between the mobile device usage preference and information search behavior of young travelers, between the ages of 18 and 30, in the People's Republic of China (PRC). For this purpose, a sample of 133 respondents is used. Results of the survey are provided and followed by a discussion of the overall context. Study limitations and directions for future development are suggested.

Information Seeking Behaviors

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the information-seeking behaviors of police officers who work in police stations in the context of staying current. Leckie et al.’s (1996) model of the information-seeking behavior of professionals is tested. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative research design was employed for data collection. The sample includes 642 cases. It is both descriptive and exploratory. Findings – Police officers first rely upon their personal knowledge and experience, then their colleagues and then official documents. On the other hand, they rarely consulted informants, libraries, journals, books, and attendance at conferences as information sources. There were significant differences in the information sources used by police officers based on their gender in the context of staying current. Lastly, the results of this study indicated that service years in policing and the roles in police station were significantly correlated with the information sources used by police officers regarding staying current. Originality/value – This study, being the first, provides a huge theoretical base for future studies. It contributes to the discipline of information science by validating a theoretical model in a different context. In addition, it contributes to public safety by understanding the frontline police officers’ information needs and information-seeking behavior.

Insight Into

Our increasingly hybridized information environment, in which both print and electronic resources are available and offer certain advantages, may be described as “dimorphic,” alluding to the dual modes of sustenance evident among certain semi-nomadic peoples in the Ancient Near East. In this session, reference and digital services librarian David Schmersal will draw upon amateur interest in the Ancient Near East to explain how dimorphic social structure may provide a useful heuristic device or metaphor for understanding the information-seeking behavior of students, faculty, and other researchers. Such insight into user behavior may be applied to collection development, instruction sessions, reference interviews, and other crossroads between libraries and our patrons’ information needs.

The paper focuses on enquiring the information needs and Information seeking behavior of Science and Technology (S&T) teachers of the University of the Punjab (PU). Their preferences regarding various formats of information sources (printed and electronic) and importance of formal and informal sources have been explored through quantitative survey. Self-completion questionnaire was used to reach whole population of institutions/colleges/departments of all Science and Technology faculties. Findings reveal: both libraries and e-resources are playing important role in meeting respondents' information needs; direct access to e-sources has slightly decreased the number of their visits to departmental and central libraries; and faculty spend comparatively more time on searching web sources than print sources.
