The purpose of this study is to investigate information-seeking behaviours among School of Computing undergraduate students within the context of searching information for university tasks. As university students, having the skills to gather information, both from the library and the Internet will help them to complete university tasks such as course assignments and project papers. With the advent of information technology, gathering information is so much faster and easier. It is therefore imperative that undergraduates are equipped with some information-seeking skills. A survey method was used to collect data for this study. A questionnaire was randomly distributed to 170 undergraduate students at School of Computing, Universiti Utara Malaysia in Malaysia. The overall response rate was 100%. The collected data was analysed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 19.0. The findings show that academic information is the most needed information for completing university tasks and Google search engine is the most frequently used search engine by the students when searching academic information. Therefore, this study concludes that most of the students prefer to use search engines to search academic information.
