Correlation between Information Needs, Information Seeking Behavior and Information Literacy of Social Sciences Research Scholars from Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, Nagpur

While there is no dearth of articles on information seeking behavior showing behavior patterns based on elementary classification of data, very few ones have tried to establish correlation between the different variables involved in the process. What kind of influence information needs exert on information seeking behavior and what is the impact of the latter on information literacy is an interesting dimension that needs to be investigated. This study has been planned to probe into the information seeking behavior of the research scholars in Social Science to understand the entire scheme of things related to their information seeking behavior in the context of their information needs as well as its impact on information literacy.
