“…A DLS helps users access updated research as well as digitised representations of original works from any location and at any time. It was introduced in India during the 1990s; that is, two decades after its implementation in developed nations (Sheeja, 2010). However, several supply-side barriers, such as the lack of infrastructure, commitment from institutes/librarians, legislation, trained manpower and financial aid, inhibited the adoption of DLS in India (Gaur, 2003; Gurram, 2008).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the critical factors that drive the adoption of digital library system (DLS) in institutes located in remote India. An integrated model of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model-2 (UTAUT2) and information systems success model (ISSM) is used to evaluate the critical factors. Design/methodology/approach The survey method of research was used, and the data collected was analysed by using PLS-SEM, which proved helpful to evaluate and validate the model. Findings Departing from past research, where most of the factors of the UTAUT2 and ISSM were found to influence the adoption of DLS, in this context, it is noted that performance expectancy, facilitating conditions and habit were the only constructs that influenced the intention to use DLS. Originality/value The study addresses the requirement for further research in DLS domain in emerging markets. It is one of the few studies addressing DLS adoption in remote India. The findings are unique to this context, which differ from developed nations, thus, answering the call to advance UTAUT model.

“…Furthermore, lack of trust regarding the authenticity of the information available in digital libraries and privacy issues also lead to the non-usability of digital libraries. Sheeja (2010) investigated the perceptions of students regarding the use of digital libraries in India. The results of this study were very encouraging as all the study participants reported that they used the DL system of their university effectively for learning purposes and they were satisfied with its services.…”
