由于信息和通信技术(ICT)的迅速普及，了解信息寻求在过去十年中发生了变化，对于了解信息素养的需求在电子时代可能也在发生什么变化至关重要。这项定性研究采用了解释/建构主义的方法，考察了获取电子信息的途径如何影响澳大利亚一所大学15名研究生的信息素养需求。数据收集使用了一种名为访谈的人种学技术。会议选定了与寻找和利用信息有关的三个具体领域：(1)由于电子资源的迅速普及而使用信息源；(2)知道何时停止收集信息，因为因特网的出现导致比过去更容易获得更多的信息；以及(3)信息收集后的管理，这也受到现在可获取的大量信息的影响。结论指出，监督员和学术图书馆员的作用都得到了加强，后者需要成为大学社区中的教育者。
Because of the rapid uptake of information and communication technology (ICT), understanding the ways in which information seeking has changed over the past decade is crucial to gaining a picture of how information literacy needs may also be changing in the electronic age. This qualitative research took an interpretivist/ constructivist approach in examining the ways in which access to electronic information-seeking affects the information literacy needs of 15 research students in an Australian university setting. An ethnographic technique, the interview, was used for the data collection. Three particular areas, related to information seeking and use, were selected: (1) information source use because of the burgeoning availability of electronic sources; (2) knowing when to stop collecting information because the advent of the Internet has the consequence of greater quantities of information being more easily available than was the case in the past; and 3) managing information following its collection, which has also been affected by the vast amount of information that is now accessible. The conclusion points to enhanced roles for both supervisors and academic librarians, with the need for the latter to become perceived as educators within their university communities.
