Exploring information behaviour: An International analysis of educational video consumption among LIS students in three countries

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The use of educational videos in higher education is increasingly widespread among professors and students. Numerous digital platforms worldwide provide publicly available educational videos. This study investigates the perceptions of LIS students in three countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Spain, specifically

focusing on their searches for educational videos on YouTube. Additionally, it examines their habits, motivations, and reasons for searching for educational videos in relation to

their studies.

Methodology. The authors employed the focus group technique. Two focus groups were conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one in Croatia, and two in Spain. The sample consisted of LIS students selected through convenience sampling. The age range of the students was approximately 19 to 25 years old.

Limitations. One of the limitations is that some students had to communicate in English, which is not their native language. While they were quite fluent, it is possible that some nuances in the interaction may have been missed.

Results. The results show that LIS students have similar motivations for searching for educational videos, such as improving their knowledge and having new or additional information beyond what is provided in class. However, there are differences in the way they consume educational videos. The number of videos available in their native language is limited. They need to search for educational videos in a non-native language they know. This also suggests that they use different methods for finding educational videos.

Originality/value. The paper presents the original results of the research on students from three different countries in the field of Library and Information Science regarding the use of educational videos in their studies.
