Students from the Library and Information Science Study Program, Faculty of Communication Sciences, Universitas Padjadjaran, conducted a study on the relationship between academic information needs and students\u2019 information-seeking behavior in the Padjadjaran University Repository (Unpad Repository)<\/em>. The study highlights how the digital repository serves as a primary source of scholarly information used by students to support their academic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research applied a quantitative survey method with Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis. A total of 140 active students from the Library and Information Science Program, class of 2018\u20132019, were selected as respondents. The results showed a significant relationship between academic information needs and students\u2019 information-seeking behavior in the Unpad Repository.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study was carried out by Rengganis Giriwarna, Prijana, and Asep Saeful Rohman, focusing on the Padjadjaran University Repository. The findings were published in November 2023 in Edulib: Journal of Library and Information Science Vol. 13 No. 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings revealed that students who need up-to-date, routine, in-depth, or quick information tend to be more active in using the Unpad Repository. The greater their need for information, the more frequently they rely on the repository as a reference source to complete their coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study confirms that the Unpad Repository functions optimally as a provider of valid and relevant academic information, effectively supporting students in their learning. Furthermore, the research aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education) by encouraging the improvement of academic literacy, and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by emphasizing the importance of digital infrastructure in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
