摘要

本研究的目的是根据Rogers的创新扩散(DOI)理论和Gartner的炒作周期(GHC)模型,在斐济国立大学(FNU)的背景下,检验图书馆用户对电子书的采用情况。2014年,民族联盟图书馆向其用户社区推出了电子书。从商业、酒店和旅游研究学院随机抽取40名本科生作为样本进行深入访谈。研究表明,参与者的电子书采用习惯主要分为早期采用者、早期多数人和晚期多数人。研究结果揭示了许多影响电子书采用的因素,如对技术的熟悉程度、个人品味、接触试用版、使用首选访问设备和阅读热情。研究结果表明,大学本科生采用符合DOI和GHC范式的电子书,证实了基础理论如何有助于解释电子书在教学和学习环境中的采用。因此,这项研究将帮助图书馆员和教育工作者建立一个强有力的机制,更好地了解高等教育机构电子书使用的内在现状。这些研究结果还将有助于制定策略,利用新兴技术显著提高大学的传统教学和学习成绩。

Adoption of electronic books in a higher education setting: an exploratory case study based on Diffusion of Innovation and Garner’s Hype Cycle paradigms
The purpose of this research was to examine the status of library users' adoption of e-books in line with Rogers's Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory and Gartner’s Hype Cycle (GHC) Model in the context of Fiji National University (FNU). The FNU Library introduced e-books to its user community in 2014. Purposively chosen 40 undergraduate students from the College of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Studies were selected as the sample to conduct in-depth interviews. The study revealed that the participants' e-book adoption habits were primarily divided among early adopters, early majority, and late majority. The results disclosed many factors that influence the adoption of e-books, such as familiarity with the technology, personal taste, exposure to trial access, use of preferred access devices and enthusiasm for reading. Findings indicate that e-books adoption of university undergraduates in line with the DOI and GHC paradigms has substantiated how the underpinning theories could help interpret the adoption of e-books in teaching and learning environment. Thus, this research will help librarians and educators develop a robust mechanism for better understanding the inherent status-quo of e-book usage in higher education institutions. These research findings will also help develop strategies that can significantly enhance universities' traditional teaching and learning performance with emerging technologies.
