Information is now considered to be essential to daily life. Libraries act as a hub for always giving the correct information to the right individuals. User studies must be acknowledged as a crucial component of the information packages. Libraries and other information providers should be aware of how people find information to improve the services they offer. This paper describes a survey designed to determine the information-seeking behaviour of Teachers and Students at Jan Nayak Ch. Devi Lal Vidyapeeth, Sirsa. Almost 200 respondents (44.4%) are chosen for the study from the 450 targeted samples. Additionally, a systematic, closed-ended questionnaire was used to gather the data. This study calculates the weighted average of the supplied criteria in addition to percentage analysis in order to make the acquired data more visible and easier to interpret. According to the study's findings, the targeted samples are likely to conduct their own independent research and encounter certain challenges because there are few pertinent information sources available in libraries. The report also recommended expanding informal communication as a way to facilitate information flow.
