  JOURNAL NAME: Open Access Library Journal, Vol.7 No.7, July 23, 2020

  ABSTRACT: This paper presents an international literature review on the hot topic of library users’ information retrieval behaviour in recent years. Through the usage of bibliometric content analysis and social network analysis methods, the paper finishes the work of data cleaning and integration, referring to the quantitative analysis of results produced by CiteSpace, a literature citation visualization analysis software, to summarize the main branches and focuses of this area. The researchers find that academia primarily focuses on the field of mechanisms and model research of users’ information retrieval behaviour, users’ information demands research, information literacy cultivation, and information retrieval system design and optimization, among other significant findings. Through the panoramic analysis and interpretation of research on international library users’ information retrieval behaviour provided by this article, conducted from a bibliometrics perspective, the researchers establish a clear overview and an effective reference of the research hotspots in this area.
