Abstract
The present paper examines the impact of technology on information seeking behavior of digital immigrants (professors) of select universities. The main objective of the study was to know the web retrieval tools used by professors as well as knowing the resources preferred by senior academicians. The study also draws light on performance of web retrieval tools. The result shows that professors are making good use of technology besides having adequate know-how of web retrieval tools. It is also observed that more of web tools and resources could have been exploited if they (professors) were provided with trainings and facilities.
