Information behavior describes the many ways in which human beings interact with informationhow people seek and utilize information, but also includes other activities such as avoiding/stopping, distorting, encountering by chance, organizing, storing, creating, sharing, diffusing, and deciding to stop using information.Prior studies have attempted to review the history of information seeking and information behavior research in the past 50-60 years.While there have been recent studies looking at different aspects of information behavior, there is a need to bring the key conclusions from these together in one place.This paper seeks to answer the question, -What is the trajectory of information behavior research in the 21st century?What are some of the future directions?‖The unit of analysis is research articles published on information behavior between the years 2000 and 2023.These include papers published in Information Research, the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, and those presented in Information Seeking in Context conferences and the Annual Meetings of the Association for Information Science and Technology, and research on information behavior models and context.While not meant to be exhaustive, this paper should bring new and existing researchers up to speed on some of the recent developments in the field during the past two decades.
