“…In a future study, more parents of different types of schools and other Asian countries, as well as various types of electronic resources, such as e-news (Yu et al , 2021) and e-magazines (Wang et al , 2016), will be studied. It is also interesting to study the personality of parents and children in using digital resources (Sanjeev et al , 2022) and the obstacles to using digital libraries (Fernandes and Cendón, 2021) for children. Future studies should also analyse how parents’ reading habits and their use of digital resources impact their children’s reading skills with more respondents recruited.…”

Purpose This pilot study aims to investigate how parents use electronic resources to encourage children’s reading and learning interests through the 5E instructional model. Moreover, this study explores the public’s current electronic reading (e-reading) preferences, parents’ teaching process and the effectiveness of electronic resources in encouraging children to read and learn. Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative research method with a 5- to 10-min online survey based on the 5E instructional model. A total of 101 respondents participated in the survey. Findings Technology has changed the public’s current e-reading preferences. More than 65% of parent respondents preferred to use the electronic reading format for their children’s teaching and learning. Parents generally agreed on the teaching and learning effectiveness of using electronic resources, especially for engaging their children. However, the parents showed no significant gender differences. Originality/value This pilot study is a new attempt to use the 5E instructional model to quantitatively analyse the parenting process of using electronic resources to encourage children to read and learn, especially in an Asian context.

“…People with high levels of openness are willing to try new things and to consider new and unconventional ideas [ 43 , 46 , 47 ]. People who are more open tend to trust computers and recent technologies more than those that score lower regarding this trait [ 48 , 49 ]. Research showed that openness to experience is significantly associated with willingness to accept the use of different forms of AR [ 50 , 51 ].…”

“…These digital libraries display the link between information, collections and technological progressions (Fritz et al , 2020). Over the years, the development of digital libraries has been a growing area of study such as in the context of users’ intention to acquire information and enhance their performance (Chang et al , 2009); users’ acceptance and utilization (Park et al , 2009); students’ use intention of electronic library resources (Joo and Choi, 2015); users’ satisfaction (Xu and Du, 2018; Soltani-Nejad et al , 2020); students’ satisfaction (Xu and Du, 2019); various types of big data resources and the value of services for users (Li et al , 2019); individual encounters with the datathon during COVID-19 (Fritz et al , 2020); the potential influence of personality traits on individuals’ intention to adopt among Gen-Z students (Sanjeev et al , 2021); users’ acceptance of blockchain technology for obtaining digital resources (Khan et al , 2022); research scholars’ usage and satisfaction (Iqbal et al , 2022) and students’ usage during COVID-19 (Habibi et al , 2022).…”

Purpose Following a crucial COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the coronavirus has affected every academic institution, particularly libraries and information centres. To address this unprecedented scenario, libraries’ staff has decided to provide their services via digital access while staying close to the users. To predict users’ intention to use digital libraries after COVID-19, the authors combined the technology acceptance model (TAM), the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and perceived risk. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected via a paper-based questionnaire using a convenient sampling method which was distributed at two major libraries; Maulana Azad Library, Aligarh Muslim University and Dr Zakir Husain Library, Jamia Millia Islamia in India. Findings Empirical findings suggested that all the proposed hypotheses were supported, and the integrated model had strong explanation power as the proposed model explained a 74.5% variance in users’ intention to use digital libraries after COVID-19. Research limitations/implications This study offers substantial information to librarians, digital libraries, universities, institutes and other stakeholders and sheds light on the potential for a developing nation to transition to an economy with a strong digital infrastructure. The scope of the study is constrained to the users in India only, hence, leading to the possibility that it may be challenging to generalize the findings. Originality/value According to the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is one of the few studies to predict users’ intentions for using digital libraries after COVID-19 by applying the integrated model of TPB and TAM in an emerging economy. It helped understand the users’ attitudes towards using the digital services and resources available at the respective libraries. It also contributed considerably to the argument that users have grown accustomed to harnessing digital libraries during the post-COVID-19 period.
