This study examines the reciprocal impact of "censorship and restrictions" and "freedom of access" on students’ information-seeking behavior in virtual environments, drawing on Wilson’s information behavior theory and Floridi’s information ethics. A qualitative approach using grounded theory was adopted, with data analyzed from 23 semi-structured interviews with humanities faculty members. Findings indicate that freedom of access often leads to reliance on unethical sources and misinformation, while a lack of moral awareness contributes to literary misconduct and incorrect citations. An interpretive theoretical analysis yields a conceptual model emphasizing the integration of ethical values at each stage of information seeking. The study concludes that bolstering open access infrastructures and fostering ethically-oriented information literacy can enhance research quality and elevate educational standards in universities. This research offers a framework for promoting ethical information practices in academic contexts.
