Abstract:

Purpose - This paper aims to argue that different types Of uncertainty are associated with information seeking and retrieval (IS&R), and that, with the proliferation of new and different search tools, channels and sources, uncertainty, whether positive or negative, continues to be a significant factor in the search process. The paper aims to report on one part of an ongoing research that aims to study correlations among a series of information-seeking activities and information-seeking problems that cause uncertainty amongst users in academic environment.
