Of the four theses analysed, two were found that monitoring step was not
identified from the study findings due to students’ task sought for the relevant
channels and sources to fulfil a class requirement for paper and thesis writing
submissions (ID U-01, and U-03). ID M-05 also showed that students who
wrote a thesis usually relied the information source from books, journals,
their respondents, and the internet. Because the findings showed that there are
obstacles for searching current trends in a field through particular formal and
informal channels and source based on Ellis’s process, ID U-02 suggests a new
subject for teaching students a strategy when searching information especially on
the internet. This subject must be an obligatory subject for the Library Science’s
student and optional for the rest of Universitas Indonesia’s Students.

A model of information seeking of professionals on engineers, health
care professionals and lawyers by Leckie, Pettigrew & Sylvain (1996)
was identified on two theses (ID U-05 and M-04). In Figure 3, there
are six components, such as work roles, associated tasks, characteristics
of information needs and three factors affecting information seeking,
awareness, sources, and outcomes.
