Abstract

The average academic spends a greater part of his career in acquiring, processing and disseminating information in an attempt to extend the frontier of knowledge in his area of discipline. In order to do this adequately, the researcher has to sift through a large quantity of extract that is related to his topic. Attempts to handle the volume of available research literature have also created another set of parameters that the researcher has to contain with. This study examines the impact of the two scenarios above on the ability of the researcher to access information relevant to his topic effectively. The essence of this paper is to outline the importance of developing a strong literature search culture in the beginner researcher as well as to alert experienced scholars on the need to regularly upgrade his retrieval expertise for maximum control of information in his discipline in this age of ICT..
