Abstract
The paper presents the habits of seeking e-specialized information conducted by the librarianship students at a Mekong Delta University in Vietnam. Based on Charles Duhigg’s habitual concept and habit loop [3], a quantitative study using surveys was undertaken with 127 Library and Information students. Findings show that students' e-specialized information seeking habits are related to frequency, information type, format, searching techniques and skills. Five factors influencing students' e-specialized information seeking habits are identified. They are intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, searching criteria, perceptions and barriers. Practical solutions are also presented to provide librarianship students with insights into alternative ways of exploiting e-specialized information resources for the good sake of their academic studies and future jobs.
