Abstract

This article discusses the role of social media towards library and information science (LIS) students’ information behaviour in responding health issues. This is a quantitative study with survey method to collect the data. The survey was distributed to LIS students of Universitas Indonesia in March 2020. The result shows that social media affects students’ information behaviour. The finding also shows that almost all of the students could fulfil their information needs and could distinguish original information and hoaxes on social media, and students did not directly disseminate the information before reading the whole content of the information carefully. Most of the students also checked the information source being used. There is an interesting finding that students preferred to upload personal opinion related to the information they read through their personal social media account than to give opinion on comment box.

Bahasa Abstract

Artikel ini membahas mengenai peran media sosial terhadap perilaku informasi mahasiswa dalam menyikapi isu kesehatan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui survei. Survei dilakukan kepada mahasiswa Program Studi Ilmu Perpustakaan Universitas Indonesia angkatan 2016 yang telah mengikuti mata kuliah literasi informasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa peran media sosial dapat mempengaruhi perilaku informasi mahasiswa. Hampir seluruh mahasiswa dapat memenuhi kebutuhan informasinya, membedakan informasi asli dengan informasi hoaks pada media sosial, dan mahasiswa tidak langsung menyebarkan informasi sebelum membaca dengan teliti dan keseluruhan isi dari informasi tersebut. Sebagian besar mahasiswa juga memeriksa sumber informasi yang digunakan. Temuan yang menarik ialah mahasiswa lebih memilih mengunggah opini terkait informasi yang dibaca melalui akun pribadi media sosial yang dimiliki dibanding memberikan opini pada bagian kolom komentar.
