Abstract

Information Seeking is one of the elements of Information Management Practices. Many authors use Information Seeking terms in various fields, such as health, medicine, business management and information management. This paper will provide insight into the research related to information seeking based on various studies in online databases. The main goal of this paper is to provide a systematic literature review of Information sought from the previous research from the year 2015 to the year 2020. The selected database consists of Emerald Insight, Science Direct and ProQuest. The search was done by using the keyword “information seeking”.
