✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The study aims to understand how undergraduate students perceive and use different information sources. The study will examine: (1) how students perceive and use different sources, (2) how the perception and the use of information sources are related, and (3) how the user characteristics and source use behaviors are related. Their relationships will be examined through correlations and profile analyses via multidimensional scaling.
