Abstract
Background and Aim: With changes in the paradigm of information seeking field and the replacement of system-based approach by user-based one, it seems necessary to design systems to achieve Information seeking goals. This requires mutual interactions of users and systems and establishing relationships between information seeking and information retrieval. A number of models were created after the introduction of new technologies into information seeking field which present information search trends as dynamic activities and describe how to meet the users’ demands. The research attempted to investigate how the undergraduates of the Water Sciences Engineering School of Shahid Chamran University of Ahwaz searched the information on the Internet and then compare their “information seeking” behavior with Kuhlthau “information search process”.
Methods: This was an applied research using descriptive survey method. The statistical population was comprised of all undergraduates of the Water Sciences Engineering School of Shahid Chamran University of Ahwaz (N=204) out of whom 102 subjects (51 freshmen and 51 sophomores) were selected via random sampling who received questionnaires.
Results: The data analysis revealed that from the stages of Kuhlthau model, freshmen and seniors tended to ignore “beginning” and “Selection stages”. Subjects would prioritize four stages of “exploration”, “formulation”, “collection” and “presentation” while “exploration” and “collection” stages were the best stages for the intervention of librarians in the search process. Also, data analysis showed that the students used “information bases”, search engines and topic indices equally while they employed search tools such as “Title” and “N operator” more than other search tools.
Conclusion: The results revealed that the pattern used by students was comprised of 4 stages which were in contrast to kuhlthau model in both terms of the number and order of stages. In the end, a new internet search pattern used by students was recognized and presented through the results obtained from the comparisons of both groups of subjects.

Background: To investigate the status of personal knowledge management skills of graduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz and the effect of technological factors on improving personal knowledge management skills from the perspective of graduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz.
Method: This is a survey research method in which the ability to generalize the results is one of the most important advantages. The study investigates the effect of technological factor on personal knowledge management skills.
Finding: The results showed that graduate students at Shahid Chamran University are in good condition in terms of personal knowledge management skills. The technological factors is above average. Also, technological factors are effective in improving personal knowledge management skills among students at Shahid Chamran University in Ahvaz. By upgrading one unit of technological factors, personal knowledge management skills will increase by 2,649 units.
Conclusion: Individual factors such as knowledge and experience, personality and psychological characteristics, the ability to communicate with others and to use technology are among the factors that affect the management of personal knowledge. In addition, organizational facilities and the culture that governs the organization also affect the management of personal knowledge. The situation of graduate students at Shahid Chamran University is in good condition in terms of personal knowledge management skills. The average factors is above normal. It can be accepted with 95% confidence that the personal knowledge management skills state of graduate students at Shahid Chamran University is appropriate and at the anticipated level, technological factors are effective in improving personal knowledge management skills among students at Shahid Chamran University.
