Interface Characteristics, Perceived Ease of Use and Intention to Use an Online Library in Malaysia
Abstract
Many researches have identified that perceived ease of use will lead to the intention to use a particular technology and the intention in return will lead to actual behavior. In the context of this research the interface characteristics are classified as the external variable to the belief-intention relationship. Data was collected from 704 undergraduate and post graduate students of Universiti Sains Malaysia using a structured questionnaire through a convenience sampling technique. The findings of the study indicate that all three interface characteristics, terminology clarity (= 0.571, p< 0.01), screen design (= 0.268, p< 0.01) and navigation clarity (= 0.036, p< 0.05) were positively related perceived ease of use of the online library. Perceived ease of use (= 0.536, p< 0.01) was in turn positively related to intention to use. The R 2 was 0.287, indicating that 28.7 percent of the variations in the intention to use can be explained by perceived ease of use. Implications for developers and the university authorities are considered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
