“…An M-learning platform is a distance learning platform with many features that support the learning and teaching processes for all education levels in universities. It also contributes to ensuring that lesson plans are carried out and the educational goals of the curriculum are met [50][51][52][53]. An M-learning system features a package of educational tools to support the teaching and learning processes.…”

Smart mobile learning (M-learning) applications have shown several new benefits for higher educational institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which such applications were used to support distance learning. Therefore, this study aims to examine the most important drivers influencing the adoption of M-learning by using the technology acceptance model (TAM). The structural equation modelling (SEM) method was used to test the hypotheses in the proposed model. Data were collected via online questionnaires from 520 undergraduate and postgraduate students at four universities in Saudi Arabia. Partial least squares (PLS)–SEM was used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that M-learning acceptance is influenced by three main factors, namely, awareness, IT infrastructure (ITI), and top management support. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on M-learning acceptance practices. Likewise, it may help to facilitate and promote the acceptance of M-learning among students in Saudi universities.

“…Insufficient ITI resources can impede the acceptance and usage of any new technology [49]. Previous studies [50][51][52][53] have indicated that ITI is one necessary component of M-learning acceptance as shown in Figure 2. As a result, ITI in Saudi universities requires extensive analysis.…”

“…The consistent advancement in technologies has given birth to what is today known as open access technologies. Okuonghae et al (2021) defined open access technologies as technologies that are widely accessible by the populace and such technologies are committed to improving the products and services of organizations, businesses and institutions. Renkema (2016) noted that most open access technologies operate a creative commons license which allows for reuse and upgrading.…”

Purpose The continuous advancement in technology has disrupted practices in many sectors, including education. Thus, this study aims to examine digital librarianship practice and open access technology use for sustainable development in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach The survey type of descriptive research design was adopted in this study while the population of the study comprised librarians in universities in Delta State. A total of 38 randomly selected librarians from four universities in Delta State were used for this study, and the data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings This study revealed that the level of digital librarianship practice in university libraries in Delta State for sustainable development is low; just as social media tools, open source integrated library systems and Google Cloud Platforms are the most commonly used open access technologies in the libraries. Furthermore, this study showed that perennial factors such as poor funding of education, inadequate quality educational infrastructure, mismanagement of education fund among others are hindrance to sustainable development in the country’s educational sector. Research limitations/implications This study is limited in its use of only one state (out of 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja) in Nigeria for this research. Also, social desirability bias on the part of the respondents could have influenced the pattern in which the respondents reacted to items in section D. Practical implications This study has practical implications for the sensitization and training of librarians towards leveraging on the various open access technologies in delivering effective library and information services required in the Fourth Industrial revolution. Originality/value This study seeks to pioneer a new area of focus by examining digital librarianship practice and open access technology use as enablers of sustainable development.

“…Researchers criticized TAM and UTAUT for ignoring the technological factors such as security and privacy (Shachak et al, 2019). The technological readiness which includes the readiness of technical staff who are able to deploy the technology as well as the readiness of the governmental organization' infrastructure in term of network, software, hardware, and other technological tools has been examined by limited number of studies (Kim & Kim, 2022;Okuonghae et al, 2022). Therefore, this study investigates the usage of CC by governmental organizations in developing countries such as Saudi Arabia.…”

Cloud computing (CC) has been used in several industries and domains. However, the use of CC in governmental organization is still limited. The purpose of this study is to examine the CC usage among governmental organizations in Saudi Arabia. The population of this study are Information technology (IT) professionals working for governmental organizations in Saudi Arabia. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data from the respondents. The questionnaire was distributed, and 211 valid responses were collected. The analysis was conducted using Smart PLS 4.0. The findings showed that perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), external influence, security but not privacy have significant effects on CC usage. The findings also showed that technological readiness moderated the effect of PU, external influence, and security on CC usage. Decision makers are recommended to enhance the perception of the benefit of CC and conduct more training courses to ease the usage of CC.
