  ABSTRACT: This paper proposes conceptual models of information seeking for medical doctors. The models are based on a study entitled “Information Needs and Information-Seeking Behavior of Practicing Medical Doctors at Katutura and Windhoek Central State Hospitals in Namibia” conducted between 2015 and 2018. Using a mixed-methods research approach, the study aimed to establish the information required by practicing medical doctors to carry out their work, how they seek information, the information sources and resources they use, and the factors that affect them as they do so. The proposed models are based on the premise that information service providers need to analyze the medical doctors’ contexts, motivating factors, prevailing circumstances, information-seeking behaviors and information use.
