Technological revolutions, centred on information, transform the traditional models of our society at an ever
increasing pace generating a proliferation of information resources, and the emergence of new systems of
communication founded on convergence with other technologies. As these technologies produce benefits for users,
new ways to transmit knowledge have also created problems.In the research field, the scientific community has
become aware that access to information is an integral part of research activity. Therefore, it is important to study
the forms, processes and strategies in accessing information during research conducted by PhD students at the
University of Hassan II Mohammedia - Casablanca, together with any difficulties encountered by these students.
