Abstract: This study primarily investigates facilitating role of ICT during collaborative Information seeking at the time of epidemics. A detailed and systematic literature review has been done to identify themes related to Collaborative Information Behavior (CIB) in the literature. These themes are further assessed in light of the preliminary data collected from the four interviews from health care officials on the Nipah Virus epidemic in Kerala in the year 2018 and a conceptual model is proposed. Our study will contribute to the literature in CIB in the context of an epidemic.
