Abstract
This research investigates the information behavior of undergraduate students in the context of academic and three everyday-life information domains (health, news, leisure). Data was collected using an online survey of all undergraduates at McGill University, with 3565 usable responses obtained (response rate 15.6%). Results-to-date show that there is variation by domain in the choice of resource, choice of search tool, and judgment of credibility. The results also show that while the students are able to make good judgements regarding the credibility of resources, that judgement is not always reflected in the resources they actually choose to use.
