Abstract

University libraries in Lebanon are at the edge of important modernization as information transfer increasingly into electronic for mat. In this study, based on Davis Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we developed a modified model for using electronic journals. Survey data from 281 student's business students in different universities in Lebanon demonstrate that significance of age, type of university and duration of stay are good predictors of intention to use e-journals. A somewhat surprising finding was that at the cognitive dimension, the participant's perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use did not make a significant contribution to the explanation and prediction of intention to use e-journals.
