With the growth of information technologies, researcher’s ways to access information have undergone significant changes. From traditional physical libraries, almost everyone turns to all the possibilities offered by information technologies to meet their needs. These include digital libraries, research engines, databases, etc. In face of this rising situation, an important question dwells and pertains to the quality of data retrieved from those information systems and how users are satisfied with them. This study was conducted with Benin’s researchers (students in master, PhD students, lecturers and researchers) in the fields of aquatic and marine sciences through interview or survey. This data collection process enabled us to understand the role of online information systems in accessing trustworthy information resources in the field of aquatic and marine sciences in Benin.
