Increasing powerful mobile technology, for example
tablet devices, empower learners to seek information not only at
home but also in mobile learning scenarios, virtually anywhere
and anytime. However, the variety of library material types such
as e-books, e-journals, images, audio and movies, require
different levels of human- computer interaction. Moreover, the
different library material types may be subj ect to different
usability constraints. Thus, it is important for the academic
library to look at how student use their mobile technology for
library information services. This paper aims to propose a
theoretical model for academic institutes and telecommunication
service providers by addressing the following question: What are
the key determinant factors for the mobile technology acceptance
in using library information services? How the patron' s
perspective and technical perspective are integrated in the
process of mobile technology acceptance for library information
services? We extend the extending Unified Theory of Acceptance
and Use of Technology model (UTAUT2) to the context of library
information services by examining the moderating role of library
material type. Adapting the UT AUT2 model requires respecification
to suit a specific information system as well as
including integration variables namely technology
characteristics, task characteristics and attitude. The
contribution of the model is a design guideline for the mobile
technology function that is consistent with the library
information services. Especially, for more better service
management and delivery.
