Students' Information Sources and Information-Seeking Challenges:

Academic libraries play a pivotal role in developing strategies to improve access to information, promote literacy, and offer support to students, particularly during unexpected events such as the pandemic. This study aims to identify the sources of information relevant to students' course research and assignments, the challenges they face, and their coping strategies The study employed the quantitative method and purposive sampling to include students who visited the library during the limited in-person classes. The study's findings revealed that students rely heavily on the modules provided by faculty members. The majority of students found the lack of access to physical information resources, such as books, journals, and theses, to be particularly challenging. Based on the results, this study offers direction for developing more effective library services, collection development programs, information literacy programs, and technological solutions.
