Abstract

Potential users of digital libraries may not use the systems in spite of digitization efforts being popular. There is a need to understand the users’ perspective and their acceptance of digital libraries. We use the technology acceptance model as a theoretical basis to understand individual acceptance of users. In this study, five individual and system components are used to explore individual user acceptance of a digital library. We find that antecedents such as search function, screen design, navigation and system reliability have significant effects on perceived ease-of-use and perceived usefulness which in turn have a significant effect on individual user acceptance.
