Abstract
The Library plays an important role in education as a learning resource and power of knowledge. The library is facing a fundamental change due to the advancement of technology. Potential users of digital library may not use the system in spite of digitalization efforts being popular. This study investigated a sample of students to assess how university students adopt and use digital library. The technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as a framework to determine intentions of using digital library. In this study, individual and system components are used to explore individual user acceptance of digital library. The study indicated that system characteristics and individual characteristics have significant effects on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness which in turn have significant effect on individual user acceptance.
