The subjects of the study were the full-time FACULTY MEMBERS of ISLAMIC AZAD UNIVERSITY OF SHIRAZ being comprised of 288 people.108 people were selected as the sample of the study by applying random sampling and using Morgan table. The measuring tool is a questionnaire comprised of 32 questions being designed by the researchers. Item analysis and Cronbach’s alpha were used to measure the validity and reliability, respectively. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used.Findings: The findings revealed that most of the INFORMATION SEEKING BARRIERS were found in the search for information resources phase and in the information needs identification phase. Using information resources and the searching strategy were among the other barriers. The results of the hypotheses testing revealed that recognition of information needs had a strong and meaningful relationship with the information seeking. And there was a strong and meaningful relation between the information seeking and the use of information. Information use also had a positive and strong relationship with the information needs.
