“…Even though the cost of access to these resources are quite expensive, however, the digital library is considered as a necessary investment especially in the aftermath of the novel COVID-19 pandemic [3], [4] Even though many models and frameworks of DL usage have been developed over the years, yet the problem remains. Several researchers reported the underutilization of DL resources [7] [18]- [21]. For example, research shows that end-user such as students and academicians are more inclined towards free online resources compared to the digital library resources provided by their institution [6], [7], [18], [19], [22].…”

In another work, Tella et al [19] highlights that search engine is the most used medium to access electronic information, indicating that DL resources have not been fully utilized by the users, indicating the underutilization of DL resources.…”
