This study used a structure equation modeling by using the SmartPLS. The finding of this study revealed that main information source among the BVIC was human and followed by the printed source and electronic source. Only functional need, experiential need, agreeableness, extraversion, affection and receptivity have a significant relationship with the BVI's CIS while information quality, conscientiousness, neurotic, openness and cost do not. Hence further research need to conducted in order to understand more on this community because with the new knowledge gained on the associations among the variables, the librarian and other information providers can focus their effort to understanding the BVIC's choice of information sources and provide better information source based on the information need, information quality, personality, relationalism and cost. It is anticipated that this study will contribute towards sustainability development for a better living of the blind and visually impaired community in Malaysia. 2016 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/18767/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/18767/1/TM_TENGKU%20RAFIDATUL%20AKMA%20TENGKU%20RAZALI%20IM%2016_5.pdf text en public mphil masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Information Management
