The main aim of this paper is to explore the relevant research for the information needs and information seeking behaviour of maritime students.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review over scholarly publications in English language over the last decade was performed through PRISMA method.FindingsThe systematic literature review resulted to 22 related publications that are consistent with the criteria of the systematic literature review. These publications are analysed and discussed. The need for further research in the area of information seeking behaviour of students of maritime studies as well as of digital information literacy is exposed.Originality/valueThis work explores the behavioural patterns surrounding the central role of information for maritime students as well as for decision-making in the maritime sector. Digital information literacy competencies are discussed in order to be included in the curricula of maritime studies.
