Investigation and Research on Undergraduates’ Information Behavior in Ubiquitous Knowledge Environments

Abstract

Through the questionnaire survey and the structural equation modeling, this thesis concretely weighted the influence of the information behavior on the university students. Studies have shown that information demand behaviors are positively related to information retrieval significantly, and go further to be strongly correlated to information usage; information behavior has a positive correlation to learning objectives and learning effect , and so do information seeking, information retrieval and information usage, among which, information seeking and information usage have a higher influence. We made a point that undergraduates should improve the capability of information seeking and information usage to promote the efficiency of knowledge acquisition.
