Abstract

The modern era has witnessed a significant shift in social norms, accompanied by the rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These transformations have had a profound impact on contemporary society, particularly in the way people conduct information searches. To meet the demands of the current 'information age', individuals must possess a level of expertise and continuous training, which requires reflection on traditional approaches to education. The present research aimed to verify the search and information use behavior of undergraduate students from the Department of Life Sciences (DCV) and the Department of Exact and Earth Sciences (DCET) at the Salvador campus of the State University of Bahia (UNEB), highlighting the impact of new technologies on this behavior. As theoretical background, a specific literature review on search behavior was conducted to determine parameters for data collection among the surveyed students. This research presents the monographic procedure method (case study); the questionnaire was used as the main data collection instrument, remotely administered through an electronic form for respondents. Descriptive statistical analysis of variables was performed based on responses.
