Using theory of reasoned action (TRA) in understanding selection and use of information resources : an information resource selection and use model

Abstract

Information explosion increases the difficulties for a user to quickly identify and locate useful information resources. In order for libraries to provide user-centered services, it is important to examine not only what, but also why users select and use an information resource over others. The present study aims to investigate how resource characteristics, library environment, and individual differences factors affect users' selection and use of information resources by testing a proposed Information Resources Selection and Use Model (IRSUM) based upon the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).
