This study investigates the information behavior of Library and Information Science (LIS) students in Croatia when using AI-powered systems and search tools. It examines how students utilize AI-powered systems and tools along with their preferences and challenges in doing so. The methodology involves a simulated work task conducted among LIS students, yielding several key insights into their information behavior and attitudes towards AI-powered systems. The discussion underscores the importance of aligning AI-powered systems with the information needs of LIS students to enhance their educational experience and prepare them for future applications in information science. The conclusion suggests that understanding students' information behavior can guide the development of strategies to promote the effective use of AI-powered systems and tools, thereby contributing to the advancement of education in information science.
