This study delves into the evolution and current state of information-seeking behavior research within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). Through an informetric approach, the study traces the trajectory of this research area from 1961 to 2023, examining publication trends, mapping author-supplied keywords, and assessing its dispersion across different disciplines. The findings reveal a consistent pattern of exponential growth in publications, reflecting the enduring relevance and vitality of information-seeking and behaviour research. Despite recent debates questioning its significance, the study underscores the interdisciplinary nature of this field and its integral role in understanding how individuals interact with information in diverse contexts. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of technological advancements, societal changes, and emerging research priorities on shaping the trajectory of information-seeking behaviour research. By integrating perspectives from psychology, sociology, computer science, and other disciplines, researchers continue to advance knowledge in this area, addressing contemporary challenges such as information overload and misinformation. The study emphasizes the continued importance of information-seeking and behaviour research in informing practice, policy, and the design of information systems in the digital age.
