While previous studies have revealed the role of prior knowledge, availability of ICT resources and infrastructure in the development of information-type skills, the identification of other unexplored variables remains important in information science. This paper seeks to ascertain the moderating role of mindfulness on digital literacy and online information searching strategies on a select group of university students in the Philippines. Structural equation modeling was used to test a hypothesized model and explore the factors affecting the information-seeking behavior of 321 students from the largest comprehensive university in the Philippines. A multi-aspect instrument, consisting of a robotfoto, and three scales such as the Langer Mindfulness Scale (LMS), Internet Skills Scale (ISS), and Online Information Searching Strategies Inventory (OISSI), was used in this study. Results revealed that digital literacy had a direct positive relationship with the online information searching strategies of students. Surprisingly, mindfulness did not moderate the relationship between digital literacy and online information searching strategies. Further, digital literacy was found to be a mediating factor to university students\u2019 information searching strategies. Implications of these for library practice and policy are discussed in this paper. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0961000619898213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,24]],"date-time":"2020-01-24T04:03:05Z","timestamp":1579838585000},"page":"1015-1027","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Linking digital literacy and online information searching strategies of Philippine university students: The moderating role of mindfulness"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Manny B.","family":"Atoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santo Tomas, The Philippines"}]},{"given":"Francesca Renee O.","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santo Tomas, The Philippines"}]},{"given":"Rayanne R.","family":"Cadungog","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santo Tomas, The Philippines"}]},{"given":"Julius Dominic O.","family":"Cua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santo Tomas, The Philippines"}]},{"given":"Siena C.","family":"Mangunay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santo Tomas, The Philippines"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3611-4013","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Allan B.","family":"de Guzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santo Tomas, The Philippines"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0961000619898213","unstructured":"APA.org (2012) What are the benefits of mindfulness?
