A total enumerative sample technique was used to select the entire 115 students of the department of Library and Information Science. Through a survey approach, questionnaire was developed and used for the collection of data. Three research questions were developed to guide the study. The results demonstrate that factors such as internet and computer self-efficacy, emotional intelligence and participation in the online discussion forum significantly correlate with and predict web search effectiveness. Based on the findings, the study recommends that, LIS students should be more internet and computer self-efficacious so that their web search activities will always be effective.
