ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the information dynamics of undergraduate students studying in higher education institutions in one of the GCC nations-Kuwait University. This study will help instructors and librarians to understand the challenges that students face when seeking information. This study can help in designing instructional information literacy programs that target student’s needs. Also, it can help improve systems and services at educational institutions. A survey was used to gather data for this research by distributing a questionnaire. 355 students participated in the study with a 100% response rate. It was found that most students use search engines such as Google to search for information. Students also were found that they use the internet as a source for completing assignments. This study showed that social media affects the information dynamics of Kuwait university students. This paper sets a clear observation of student’s information dynamics at the GCC nation.
