Introduction

This paper reviews literature on web information seeking behaviour in academic institutions. By definition, a literature review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers (Taylor and Proctor, 2006: 1). In brief, the following issues are discussed below: what web information seeking/ behavior is, how it is manifested, channels used, challenges faced, and the nature of information sought, with a particular emphasis on higher education. Sources consulted for the review of literature included books, articles, theses, reports, conference literature and reviews.
