English abstract

This article presents a study about user intention for the acceptance of digital libraries in Puerto Rico. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was selected as a research model. This theory establishes that the intention of use is determined by four factors: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions. This research was conducted in the Conrado F. Asenjo Library of the Medical Sciences Campus of the University of Puerto Rico. The quantitative approach was applied. The method chosen for data collection was the survey. The research subjects were students from the following programs: Nursing, Pharmacy, Medicine, Dental Medicine, Health Professions and Public Health. The study found that three of the main constructs (performance expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions) of the theory have a direct, positive and significant effect on user intention in digital library users. The results show that the effect of effort expectancy on the intention was negative and not significant.

Spanish abstract

Este artículo presenta una investigación sobre la intención de los usuarios para aceptar la biblioteca digital académica en Puerto Rico. Se utiliza como modelo la teoría unificada de aceptación y uso de la tecnología (UTAUT) de Venkatesh et al. (2003). Esta teoría establece que la intención de uso está influenciada por cuatro factores: expectativa de funcionamiento, expectativa de esfuerzo, influencia social y condiciones facilitantes. La investigación se realizó en la Biblioteca Conrado F. Asenjo del Recinto de Ciencias Médicas (RCM) de la Universidad de Puerto Rico (UPR). La metodología aplicada al entorno bajo estudio fue la cuantitativa y el método de recolección de datos fue la encuesta. La población participante fueron estudiantes de las Escuelas de Enfermería, Farmacia, Medicina, Medicina Dental, Profesiones de la Salud y Salud Pública del RCM de la UPR. El estudio encontró que los constructos expectativa de funcionamiento, influencia social y condiciones facilitantes tienen un efecto directo, positivo y significativo sobre la intención de los usuarios de la biblioteca digital. Los resultados indican que el efecto de la expectativa de esfuerzo sobre la intención fue negativo y no significativo.
