摘要
This work presents the preliminary results of an information behaviour study of students in two Spanish universities. A qualitative methodology was adopted and the results analysed following the grounded theory. The results were classified according to the reasons that motivated the information seeking behaviour, the means used for their resolution and the results of the search process. The use of a qualitative perspective allowed us to obtain a general picture of university students' information problems. Future lines of research are determined, and the results include a future research agenda.
