Abstract

This research was motivated by a shift in the use of information sources which initially tended to use printed sources then developed into electronic-based sources that can be accessed anytime and anywhere by information users. The purpose of this research is to identify and describe the model of information seeking behavior of experts (lecturers) that refers to the Gloria J. Leckie model so that it is hoped that the latest model will be adapted to the conditions in the field (new normal). The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with literature studies and field studies. The results of the study indicate that the information behavior of experts (lecturers) refers to their obligations in carrying out the tridharma of higher education which consists of education and teaching, research, and community service. The three workloads are followed by several variables that influence them, such as the characteristics of the information needs of experts (lecturers), where the sources used in the information search process tend to use the internet and have discussions with colleagues. The use of the internet and discussions with colleagues are almost daily because these steps mostly produce information that suits their needs. However, if they have not found complete information according to their needs, then the feedback is to review the sources of information used.
