Abstract
The present paper is centred on information seeking behaviour of biomedical faculty members and research scholars in India. Some common issues only have been dealt. The main objective of this study is to find out relative status of different forms of information viz. texts, audio-visual, animations etc., newness of documents studied and usage frequency of the same, and effect of hyperlinks on the reading by biomedical faculty members and research scholars. A simple random sample survey method has been applied to the study at 95% confidence level using online software SurveyMonkey. Texts are found the most used form despite its format viz. printed or electronic. Use of audio-visual resources is found not being common, however increasing. The respondents were found making use of currently published information sources. Hyperlinks are found supportive to study in depth and in general.
