“…Respondents also emphasized introducing Digital Learning as a formal learning system to facilitate more educational prospects. Likewise, As noted by (Ilahi et al, 2019), integrating ICT with education also increased the knowledge-gathering process's needs. Individuals who rely on eLearning can now access eBooks from online educational platforms as the available content is more accurate, guaranteed, and efficient.…”

Despite the immense educational challenges during the Covid-19 outbreak, the role of ICT in education proved highly beneficial. The use of web-based Learning and Digital Library dependency remarkably increased, resulting in sustaining academic activities. The current research examined Digital Library usage and its impacts on students' educational activities and reading habits due to the recent healthcare crisis and closure of standard libraries in Pakistan. The researchers adopted a cross-sectional study design and distributed n= 230 closed-ended questionnaires among the public sector universities' students in the Twin Cities. The data is manipulated, coded, and analyzed through Structural Equation Modelling using IBM AMOS Version 23. Results revealed a robust and significant relationship between Digital Library Acceptance, Dependency, Sustaining Educational Activities, and Improved Reading Habits during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the results explicitly rejected the intervening role of Prior Experience on Digital Library Dependency and Improved Reading Habits. Findings also highlighted the role of Digital Libraries as a fundamental part of the crisis management system. Thus, this investigation recommends more investigations to discuss the other positive aspects of Digital Libraries, especially during emergencies, to cope with the potential educational challenges and barriers.

“…This scheme used working professionals for the system design and embedding the database with the faculty record management system for ease of information filtering and access. The consequences of the digital library system on education, society and potential scientific research fraternity in literature are discussed by Ilahi et al (2019), whereby these online digital repositories serve as readily accessible learning resources. The application of artificial intelligence-related field in the domain of research-focused academic digital libraries and university websites is surveyed in (Wheatley and Hervieux, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the user satisfaction criterion for qualitative assessment of timeliness and efficacy of digital libraries based on the multivariate fuzzy logic technique. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the performance of digital library services using fuzzy logic modeling are evaluated. This model based on fuzzy logic control is used to compute the dynamic response of users by using multiple independent variables. These parameters with inherent uncertainties in practical scenarios are characterized by fuzzy linguistic information. Findings Several parameters determining the user satisfaction metric in the deployment of digital library exhibit implicit uncertainties which can be intelligently modeled by means of fuzzy control systems. Given the sample data set for the proposed fuzzy multi-attribute decision-making framework, the simulation results are used to compute various error performance measures in the estimation of the fuzzy output variables. Research limitations/implications The size of the considered sample data set is considerably small. Scalable real-world data sets can be used to reinforce the statistical efficiency and accuracy of the proposed model. Moreover, other techniques such as evolutionary multi-objective optimization and the Markovian process can be implemented to explore the efficient correlation between different parameters influencing the users’ behavior and facilitate the general application of the proposed technique. Originality/value The paper applied a fuzzy design methodology in which several attributes related to the service of digital library and the affiliated online resource provisions are used to assess their synchronous impact on user convenience in accessing and manipulating the library information. End-users’ satisfaction is crucial for quality-based valuation of compliance with the time limitations and proficiency of digital libraries.

“…According to Fezaa (2013), the digital library establishment requires clear policies on handling intellectual property rights. However, this issue remains gloomy as there is no clarity on digital sharing of digital resources through computer networks (Ilahi et al , 2019). Without the issue of copyright on digital sources being addressed and solution found, digital library will be haunted, which could lead to mismanagement of this kind of a library.…”

Purpose This study aims to determine the requirements and find out the challenges for the use of digital library services for rural areas of Capricorn District Municipality, Limpopo province. The research questions of the study are: What are the requirements for the use of digital library services in rural areas of Capricorn District Municipality? What are the challenges of accessing digital library services in rural areas? Design/methodology/approach Data was analysed thematically and deductively in this study, as researcher required to accomplish the purpose of the study through consistent structure (Zalaghi and Khazaei, 2016). In deductive analysis, the researcher starts with a set of categories, which are then used to categorize and organize data (Bertram and Christiansen, 2020). The researcher got familiar with data from the interviewing process and when transcribing data from audio tape. The transcription process was done for the coding purposes. Coding allows the researcher to simplify and focus on specific characteristics of data. Findings The study findings advocate for the establishment of digital libraries in rural areas. The library authorities are challenged to adapt digital ways of information provision. Since librarians have been providing digital content in libraries for use on users’ laptops and other gadgets, this implies that the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture has been lagging behind in finding innovative ways to provide information, especially in rural areas. To successfully keep libraries as sources of information, transformative measures have to be taken, and where possible, revisit the policies and keep drifting with the societal changes. The library authorities have to delve into new ways of providing LIS to the communities. Unquestionably, information and communication technologies have penetrated our societies and became a way of life. In addition, there are unlimited benefits which can be derived from digital technologies, especially given the lack of physical libraries in rural areas. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the academic research is original and has not been published anywhere before.
