Bringing the digital library success factors into the realm of the technology-organization-environment framework

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a new benchmarking framework on the factors that influence digital library (DL) adoption by aligning them with the constructs of DL models to establish the likely critical success factors (CSFs) for DL implementation. Design/methodology/approach Concept mapping is used to illustrate the relationship between the information systems success model and DL frameworks. Technology organisation and environment (TOE) framework was chosen as the central theme and was mapped with the three DL frameworks reviewed (5S framework; the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture and the DELOS DL reference model) to come up with the likely success dimensions for DLs. A set of possible success factors was assembled from the literature on previous studies relating to factors that are critical to the success of information systems and DLs. The description of each DL potential success factors was finally developed as an item statement with verification from the literature review. Findings A total of 53 success factors items were assembled from literature represented by the final ten constructs of the CSFs; 16 items characterise DL technology, 13 items denote DL organisation and 24 items symbolise DL environment. Findings show that these factors may be good determinants for an effective implementation of DLs. Research limitations/implications The outcome can positively influence the implementation of DLs worldwide. Originality/value This is the first study in library science that incorporates TOE with DL frameworks to come up with the success factors of DL implementation.

Acceptance Model of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Technologies in Construction Firms: Applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Combination with the Technology–Organisation–Environment (TOE) Framework

“…Concerning the adoption of new technology, there has been very little research concerning the impact of the social environment directly influencing organisational and users' PU and PUOE. However, if we examine the research in other fields, such as healthcare, concerning the influence of the social environment on the adoption of AI technology, it has become an important discussion leading to ongoing research [64,65]. Moreover, since various invested parties take part in construction projects, attitudes regarding the adoption of AI technology may shift due to these outside influences.…”

PLS-SEM path analysis to determine the predictive relevance of e-Health readiness assessment model

“…Similarly, Lin (2014), and Teo et al (2009) as with Pan and Jang (2008) used TOE to investigate firms' adoption of electronic supply chain management systems, adoption of e-Procurement systems and adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in the communication environment respectively. Several other studies include but not limited to (Dewi et al, 2018, Hao et al, 2020, Herath et al, 2020, Hue, 2019, Singeh et al, 2020, Arpaci, 2019. Building and implementing eHealth systems is not enough.…”

“…There needs a comprehensive examination of the various elements of site in terms of system quality 2 , information quality 3 and ultimately, service quality 4 . In this study we examine these important factors (Shim and Jo, 2020) (Delone and Mclean, 2004) include (Dewi et al, 2018, Fanta et al, 2016, Freeze et al, 2019, Kwao et al, 2020, Ojo, 2017, Singeh et al, 2020, Yusif et al, 2020b.…”

Personalized recommendation by using fused user preference to construct smart library

“…For instance, we can visit online digital library via a WeChat mini program on smart phone instead of the library in the campus. 1,2 From digital library to smart library, the key is intelligent algorithm to recommend proper books, journals or magazines to the readers, which is connected to the user's preference and interest. 3,4 The user's preference reflects the user's hobby and connects high frequent visiting items in digital library.…”
