Abstract:
In the present research the information-seeking behavior through the Internet among agricultural undergraduate students at Razi University of Kermanshah was investigated through a survey. The research population included all agricultural undergraduate students at the university (N=985). Based on Krejcie and Morgan’s Table, a sample of 276 students was selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection tool was a questionnaire, whose validity was confirmed by a panel of experts, and its reliability was measured through a pilot test and Cronbach's alpha. Cronbach’s alphas ranged from 0.73 to 0.82. Findings revealed that among the statements related to the students’ information-seeking, seeking information for university assignments ranked as the first, and making contact and exchange of information with the faculty ranked as the last. The most important problems of the students for an appropriate use of the Internet included inadequate infrastructure and problematic internet access. Significant positive correlations were found between student's internet skills, their satisfaction with the Internet site of college, and their English language skills and awareness of search methods with student's information seeking through the Internet. The results also revealed that student's internet skills, their satisfaction with the internet site of college, and their awareness of search methods explained 62 percent of changes in the student's information seeking through the Internet.
