摘要

本研究旨在调查在巴基斯坦旁遮普省拉合尔高等法院执业的法律从业人员的数字信息需求和搜索行为。本研究采用定量方法,基于电子问卷调查,在全面普查后收集法律从业人员的数据。在 9,933 名注册法律从业人员中,确定了 370 名受访者的随机样本规模,其中 302 人对调查做出了回复,回复率为 81.6%。研究结果法律从业人员更倾向于将巴基斯坦法律网站和法律期刊作为获取信息的主要来源,与传统印刷品相比,他们明显倾向于数字格式。这些资源主要用于法庭案件的准备工作,极大地增强了法律从业人员的研究能力,确保他们在各自领域保持最新水平。然而,我们也发现了一些挑战,包括时间限制、获取数字资源的途径有限以及数字格式的法律资源不足。研究的局限性/意义这项研究呼吁法律图书馆采用先进技术,并强调了改善数字基础设施的必要性,以更好地满足法律从业人员不断变化的信息需求。原创性/价值这项研究强调了法律从业人员在寻求信息时首选的信息来源和格式、他们使用法律资源的目的以及数字媒体对其信息寻求行为的影响。此外,本研究还揭示了他们在寻求信息时所面临的挑战。

Digital information needs and information-seeking behaviour among legal practitioners at the Lahore High Court, Punjab, Pakistan

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the digital information needs and seeking behaviour of legal practitioners practising at the Lahore High Court in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

Design/methodology/approach

This study adopts a quantitative approach based on an e-questionnaire survey to collect data from legal practitioners following a comprehensive census. Among the 9,933 registered legal practitioners, a random sample size of 370 respondents was determined, of whom 302 responded to the survey, resulting in a response rate of 81.6%.

Findings

Legal practitioners prefer the Pakistan Law Site and law journals as primary sources of information acquisition, with a distinct inclination towards digital formats over traditional print. These resources are primarily used for court case preparation, significantly enhancing the research capabilities of legal practitioners and ensuring they remain current in their field. However, several challenges were identified, including time constraints, limited access to digital resources and inadequate availability of legal resources in digital format. These challenges emphasize the critical need for enhancing the digital infrastructure of law libraries.

Research limitations/implications

The study calls for law libraries to adopt technological advancements and underscores the necessity of improving digital infrastructure to better serve the evolving information needs of legal practitioners.

Originality/value

This study underscores the preferred information sources and formats of legal practitioners for seeking information, their purpose for using law resources and the impact of digital media on their information-seeking behaviour. In addition, this study reveals the challenges they face in seeking them.
