Comparing technology acceptance of AR-based and 3D map-based mobile library applications: a multigroup SEM analysis

ABSTRACT This study integrated augmented reality (AR) and three-dimensional (3D) maps into mobile learning for library use instruction. To maximize the benefits of mobile library applications (MLAs), their technology acceptance was examined. Because of the e-learning context, the General Extended Technology Acceptance Model for E-Learning (GETAMEL) developed by Abdullah and Ward ([2016]. Developing a general extended technology acceptance model for e-learning (GETAMEL) by analysing commonly used external factors. Computers in Human Behavior, 56, 238–256) was used. A total of 450 university students participated in this study. Structural equation modeling was conducted to identify factors influencing MLA adoption, to test the measurement invariance of the GETAMEL questionnaire and to compare the structural coefficients of GETAMEL between the AR and 3D map groups. The results showed that subjective norms, enjoyment, computer-related experience, self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are essential for designing MLA. Moreover, the measures of the questionnaire had the same meanings across the two MLAs, and the impacts of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on behavioral intention differed significantly across the two groups, suggesting that AR-based MLA suits people who are not familiar with libraries, whereas 3D map-based MLA suits people who want to find research materials immediately.

SISTEM PEMINJAMAN DAN PENGEMBALIAN BUKU PERPUSTAKAAN KELILING BERBASIS WEB MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA STRING MATCHING PADA SUKU DINAS PERPUSTAKAAN DAN KEARSIPAN KOTA ADMINISTRASI JAKARTA UTARA

The Mobile Library at the North Jakarta Administration City Library and Archives Office is a mobile library engaged in learning to increase readers' interest, especially in terms of learning. Where in the process of borrowing and returning books in the mobile library is still not well computerized and some processes are still done by hand and stored in catalog books. So that unorganized data is difficult to find, is often lost and makes it difficult for administrators to prepare reports. From the existing problems the writer designed and built a mobile library information system which is expected to be able to handle these problems. In looking for needs, system development is carried out through data collection methods by observation. In the system development method, the authors use object-oriented development methods with tools using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in system analysis and design. Researchers use the PHP and MYSQL programming languages ​​as the database. It is hoped that with this mobile library information system, the processes involved in borrowing and returning books will be easier, because this mobile library information system can be accessed multi-user.

The role of the library within school-level literacy policies and plans in Australia and the United Kingdom

Libraries are valuable resources that schools can draw upon to enhance their students’ literacy outcomes. However, the role of libraries in supporting student literacy attainment and maintenance may be poorly understood in schools. To determine if libraries are a valued literacy resource within schools, investigation of their incorporation into school-level literacy policies and plans was warranted. Literacy policies and plans from Australia and the United Kingdom were examined using a hybrid content analysis approach to explore if libraries are commonly featured in school literacy policies and plans. Analysis also identified the kinds of libraries that were mentioned, and the roles that libraries play in these documents. Only 34.3% of Australian documents mentioned a library, with UK documents far more likely to include them (74.3%). UK documents were more likely to mention school libraries, classroom libraries, public libraries, mobile libraries, online libraries and book swap areas, while parent libraries were only mentioned in Australian documents. Analysis of roles of libraries found mentions of borrowing and literature exposure; access to a well-resourced facility; reading for pleasure; reading for assessment; environment; research, information literacy and library skills; external expertise, resourcing and outreach; and literacy and literature instruction. UK documents were more likely to include these roles than their Australian counterparts.

Assessment of the impact of mobile libraries on traditional libraries

Mobile library is a form of librarianship where library staff move information to the doorstep of users through the use of technology both software and hardware. Mobile libraries very crucial library type that has come to save the under privileged, to educated the less informed on issues such as HIV, AIDS, disease out breaks, nutrition, career guidance etc. The scarcity of static libraries everywhere every time has made the essence of mobile libraries within communities, countries, regions and districts.Mobile librarianship is not only limited to the use of vehicles and vans to transport books to readers far and wide, it also encompasses the use of telecommunication, proxy servers, online repository etc., to transmit digital information to users far and wide. Mobile libraries will also increase the patronage of traditional libraries ones the user gets use to it and generates interest in libraries.Mobile libraries complement the work of the traditional libraries. It is able to reduce the pressure on the traditional libraries thus providing extra support to the traditional static libraries. Through mobile libraries, traditional libraries are able to increase members and their services as well anywhere and at any time.The physical part of a mobile library is made up of a big van or bus carrying books and other learning materials that meet the needs of users that will be patronizing the library.The effect of mobile libraries on the traditional ones could be both negative or positive yet ht e positive effects far outweigh the negative ones. The congenial space and atmosphere, couples with expert attention and guidance comes with the use of traditional library which is a huge disadvantage to the mobile libraries since a user of a mobile library may not afford the space and quiet environment that a static traditional library may bring.It should be noted that, the presence of more mobile libraries will assist the less privilege to have access to the moving vehicle or physical libraries and the highly privilege to take advantage of mobile internet libraries.

Development and origin of English Literature

The 18th century was the novel's golden age as a literary form. Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, and Sterne are all important writers who shaped the evolution of the English novel. They had an impact on subsequent generations of authors. The novel's meteoric ascent in the 18th century coincided with the advent of the printing machine, a key component of the industrial revolution. Because of the domino effect of the industrial revolution, people's quality of life and standard of living both rose. Because of the growing number of well-educated middle-class individuals, the market for books has soared. The introduction of mobile libraries has helped expand the number of people who read. Members of the mobile library had convenient access to books since they were delivered to their houses.

Factors Influencing User Behavior Intention to Use Mobile Library Application: A Theoretical and Empirical Research based on Grounded Theory

User behavior intention is an important evaluation criterion for the construction of mobile library application. To help libraries and mobile application, developers better understand factors influencing user behavior intention and jointly improve the mobile service quality of library. Based on grounded theory, this study experimentally manipulates user behavior intention to use mobile library application related to the survey questionnaire that was designed to obtain data from college teachers and students. The results showed that the user behavior intention to use mobile library application is mainly influenced by system feature (i.e., accessibility, relevance, and system help), interface feature (i.e., screen design, navigation, and term), and individual difference (i.e., performance expectancy, domain knowledge, and social influence). Furthermore, system feature and interface feature are the external driver of user's usage behavior intention, and individual difference is the internal driver of user's usage behavior intention.

WeChat Mobile Library Service in Chinese Academic Libraries

This paper introduces the WeChat mobile library service programme at Shanghai University Library and identifies problems and resolutions by reviewing the development process and experience and user feedback. A case study was conducted, and user feedback from a web survey was analysed to identify the programme's problems. Accordingly, recommendations and resolutions were developed. The author discovers that a WeChat account is crucial as an interaction platform between libraries and patrons, particularly on mobile devices. Patrons prefer to receive library services via WeChat rather than other channels. Their favourite features include online public access catalogue (OPAC), my library, and study facility availability. Libraries should conduct regular assessments to understand patrons' feedback or requests and make timely adjustments accordingly. The web survey and its data are novel in this area and provide a credible example to optimize WeChat library services.
