AB - The study aims to explore information seeking behavior of career-interrupted women during their job-seeking processes. It analyzes their career barriers, information needs, main information sources and channels, and the distinctive features of their information-seeking behavior throughout the reemployment processes. To achieve these objectives, both survey and semi-structured interview methods were employed. Statistical analysis and content analysis were conducted to examine differences in information-seeking behavior across the three stages of reemployment(recognition, withdrawal, and job-seeking stages) as well as according to demographic characteristics. Furthermore, the study analyzed perceptions of roles played by public information institutions, including public employment support agencies and public libraries. Based on the findings, the study suggested practical implications and strategies for providing customized information services tailored to the needs of career-interrupted women. It also recommended directions of public support institutions for career-interrupted women and public libraries in supporting their reemployment.
