Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the relationship between ease of technology use, innovation tendency, perceived usefulness and intention to use technology among librarians. 91 male librarians and 109 female librarians were selected using stratified random sampling. Research questionnaires were distributed among participants. Pearson correlation test results suggested there was a positive significant relationship between Innovation tendency and intention to Use technology, ease of use and perceived usefulness. In addition, there was positive significant relationship between ease of use and perceived usefulness with intention to Use technology. Stepwise regression analysis also showed ease of use, Innovation tendency and perceived usefulness were able to predict intention to Use technology.

Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is one of the most well known models in theoretical- based models group. It was originally introduced by Davis in 1989 in his doctoral thesis based on Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) for modeling information technology acceptance by users (Davis, Bagozzi, and Warshaw, 1989)
Summary

Theories of behavioral change or, in general, behavioral theories underlie theoreticallybased models They regard acceptance and establishment of a new information technology resulting from an attitude, or a behavioral intention or a behavior leading to acceptance of change. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used as theoretical framework for investigation on factors influencing intention to Use information technology among librarians. The other includes external constructs known as external variables They include such constructs as support by organization’s managers, task – technology fit, organizational and social factors, features of computer systems such as software and hardware, training, complexity, experience, volunteering, gender and aids by others in using computer systems which influence on subjective perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of information technology (Davis et al, 1989)
