Since we are in the learning stage, this project helps me to gain a broad knowledge of what information students need, what kind of information they need more, which source of information is very useful and so on. The findings of the study were intended to provide insight into the knowledge-based and information-seeking behavior of students. The explosion of data brought about by the growth and deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) had also resulted in numerous forms of information codification and information gathering that later posed a significant hurdle for these students as they progressed in the education sector. [ CITATION Als81 \l 1033.
No real statistics on the knowledge and behavior requirements of the students have been carried out within the framework of the United International University since it was founded in 2003, given the significant characters played by information needs and information seeking. According to Reitz (2004), the concept of information is concretely "all facts, conclusions, ideas and creative works of the human intellect and imagination that have been communicated formally and informally, in any form". In any case, the main problem that the respondents noted in the retrieval of data is within the locality of the company's department.
According to Whitmire (2001), undergraduate students use the library mostly as a place to study and photocopy, but they underutilize some of the available library services, such as interlibrary book assistance and the reference desk. Students use the library mostly as a place to ponder and make photocopies, but they don't make phenomenal use of the few available library administrations, such as interlibrary development and scope of reference work [. It was found that more than half of the undergraduate students have problems with the links when finding library data material.
Later, system subcontractors can arrange their learning and seek out academic information that at the end of the day can be considered extremely important to their overall realization.

Sources of Searching Information
Students choose search engines like Yahoo, Wikipedia, Google, Ask.com, and Bing over academic databases like A, B, C, and D. On the other hand, ease of access and accessibility made Google and Ask.com most popular, especially among college students. However, the reason for using the academic database was a result of its complexity, while Google and ask.com had a high preference because they are very easy to use 57 (61.3%).
Meanwhile, students were asked if they were satisfied with the information they get from the resources. 79 (84.9%) respondents indicated that they are always satisfied with the information they receive, while of the respondents they are not always satisfied with the information.
Students’ Information Seeking Behavior
Others with low response rates include 'seek help from librarians' and 'seek the CD-ROM database' 7 (7.5). Checking the 'index at the back of the books' has the highest response rate of while 'references at the back of the consulted books' is used as cross-referencing and the 'advanced search mode on the academic database' has response rates of and respectively. Undergraduate students were asked to identify whether or not they had attended the library's user education session during freshman orientation week to determine the impact of user education on students' information-seeking behavior.
However, the last group of respondents in table 9 never saw the user education, the reason for this could be that the workshop might be due to their late return to academic activity. The library subscribes to the electronic database in addition to the printed information material and CD-ROM database in the Library's holdings. The students were asked to mention which academic databases/e-sources they accessed to see if they expanded their information search to include additional more advanced sources.
Purpose of Searching Information-
The Problem in the Time of Searching Information-
They (students) indicated that 'the advanced search mode' of the academic database is complex, followed by those who 'do not understand how it works very well'. The information needs of the students are developing day by day by understanding the concept of the need for information. Students need different types of information. To search for information, students often use common sources such as lecture notes, the Internet, diaries, reference books, newspapers, printed magazines, and so on.
The university should give the students a good lecture which will help the students to know more and more information about the subject. The information-seeking pattern is dependent on the individual's information environment, which consists of the individual's background and characteristics, as well as the nature and type of information needed. To search students most of the time choose Yahoo, Wikipedia, Google, if university authority provide them good internet service, it will be helpful for them.
The academic base should be enriched in such a way that students will be interested in using the academic base. Most students follow or keep up to date with the latest information in their subject area, which is a good thing. Some don't know how search works, and most students don't know about advanced learning.
You should take the lecture for yourself or you should make a video of it and provide that video to the students. Therefore, the authorities should enrich the electronic database with more information that will benefit students. In addition, the library is used by undergraduate students and newspapers are also read by undergraduate students for independent study [ CITATION Ell08 \l 1033.
So nothing should be lacking to help the potential leader of the future and their bright future. Moreover, creating or emerging awareness of e-learning can help students gather information faster. The clear results or the clear picture of the ICT facilities and making it an ICT facility or a based institution of the United International University can play a significant role for higher authorities to develop ICT advantages in the provincial institution.
