Human being is assumed as the most intelligent animal among the animal kingdoms. He straggles hard to make his life easy by gaining knowledge through various methods like observations, experiments etc. In this process he makes use of available information by applying different methods. The information seeking behavior of academic Science and Technology Research Scholars are being transformed by the availability of electronic resources for searching, retrieving, and reading scholarly materials. Information seeking behavior refers to the way, people search for and utilize information. This study adopts qualitative as well as quantitative approach to information-seeking behavior, using the questionnaire method as the primary tool for data collection. The process follows by asking the questionnaire in such a way that it reflects David Elli’s six stage model of information seeking behavior and try to prove how far this model satisfies the researchers seeking behavior in web environment with new web-based techniques. This study focusses on the survey of respondents in different fields of Science and Technology. This survey shows a relative and moderate behavior pattern of information seeking by the research scholars in the field of science and technology. The sole objective of this study is to detect the latest information seeking behavior of science and technology researchers with developed tools and techniques used in web environments.
