ABSTRACT
The rapid development of mobile digital libraries is an inevitable trend in online library services in
recent years. The effect of the new digital service is closely related to the continuous improvements
and innovation of online library, as well as users’ experiences and acceptance behaviors. Based on
the UTAUT model, we conducted a standardized questionnaire survey and collected a dataset with
a sample of digital library users. Then, we use SPSS to analyze the dataset and demonstrate the
reliability and validity of the sample. Besides, we also use AMOS to conduct structural equation
model, examine the fitting degree, and provide theoretical contributions and practical implications for
both academia and practice. The results show that the factors influencing a user’s behavior include
social influence, user innovation, payment value, performance expectancy, facilitating condition,
and intention to use, which are all positive. However, effort expectancy and service mobility had no
effect on reception behavior.
