  <abstract>The researchers increasingly interact with information resources normally and such interactions are characterized
by the extensive search of the sources. The research also intended to address the issues and problems involved in
information retrieval to provide an appropriate solution to their challenges. In this current exercise we have studied using
a few qualitative framework. To supplement our work we have contacted them using a structure set of questions to tap their
access pattern.
Our work reveals that the online resources become more indispensible in the few years. Also the social networks provide and
support large number of users. More use of datasets and databases contribute to the networked information. The academic
journals and the web pages of many libraries also contribute extensively.
There are many issues and factors are studied by us in the investigation which includes title understanding and low correlation
between titles and content. Researchers were to search for hours and days to find the information they needed. The Web
environment, is still far from providing a well-organized information to information seekers and users. Lack of standardized
format for searching information in search engines for databases lead researchers to misinformation, and most of interviewees
complained about this matter. Results also showed that researchers categorize the retrieved information into four components:
A. Explicit useful information, B. Hidden useful information, C. Explicit inappropriate information, and D. Explicit
Disturbing information. Findings advise information systems policy makers to adjust their propositions on the information
behavior of the new generation researchers and online residents and revise their indexing and collection development
guidelines.</abstract>
