Abstract
This study concerns the adoption of Information Communication Technology (ICT) services in
libraries. The study collected 445 usable data from university library end-users using a crosssectional
survey instrument. It develops, applies and tests a research model of acceptance and
use of such services based on an existing UTAUT model by Venkatesh, et al. (2003). Results
show that ‘relevance’ and ‘social influence’ have significant effects on intentions to use e-library
services. Results further show that university communities in Uganda are inclined to use
electronic library services due to social demands, relevancy of services, available facilitating
conditions and benefits they expect from the services. Most importantly, the Service Oriented
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (SOUTAUT) model explains 57% of
variance towards acceptance and use of e-library services.
