A Study On The Influence Of The Perceived Value Of Users Of University Library Space Services On Their Willingness To Use Them

The information age has widened access to resources,and people can easily access the resources and information they need through the networkt and other means.This change has seriously impacted on the identity of libraries as information centres and documentation resource centres.In this context,libraries have begun to shift their service focus from the previous service of literature as the core to developing spatial services with space as a resource.Perceived value reflects the subjective feelings of users towards library space services,and users with high perceived value tend to be more willing to use them.Whether from a theoretical or practical perspective,the study of perceived value and willingness to use of space service users is of great meaning to the transformation and reengineering of university library space and the improvement of space service level.Therefore,this study designs and distributes questionnaires based on the theoretical basis from the perspective of users,uses data processing software to analyse the questionnaire data,and conducts indepth research and analysis on the relationship between the perceived value of library space services users and their willingness to use them.The main contents of this study include: reading a great deal of references,defining the concepts of library space,library space services and their perceived value;sorting out the relationship between the perceived value of space services and users’ willingness to use;design and develop perceived value and readiness to use scales to assess the perceived value and readiness to use levels of current university library users;to establish a theoretical basis for a theoretical analysis of users’ perceived value and willingness to use..Based on the theoretical framework,a theoretical model between perceived value and intention to use is developed,hypotheses are formulated,and the relationship between perceived value and intention to use is tested and analysed.The main findings of this study are: the four dimensions of perceived value of university library space services are: functional value,feeling value,social value and perceived cost.The results of the study show that perceived cost has the greatest impact on willingness to use,social values follow closely behind,while functional values have the least impact on intention to use and emotional values have no significant impact on intention to use.In the future,to further improve users’ perceived value and willingness to use,libraries should optimise the design principles and methods of library signage,strengthen the thinking of coping with unexpected crises;shape the image of libraries and increase the number of shared learning spaces;modernise the functions of library spaces with user needs as the guide;improve the professional quality of librarians and provide a comfortable and clean library environment for users.
