Library Web/Online Information Services to the Needs and Behavior of Students

Abstract

The website of a higher education library has been proved to be one of the core technologies used by students in their studies. While providing web services, libraries may be benefited from a number of studies done on webpage design and factors influencing the likelihood of people in using web services. On the other hand, mobile technology has already ignited a revolution that the higher education library has to face. Whether a mobile version of the library website should be offered is worthy to be evaluated. Our user survey identified the information and resources that our students used often and some of their needs that were not being well addressed to. The findings of the user survey laid the excellent base of the redesign of the current library website as well as the design of a mobile version of it.
