Abstract Acceptance and intention to use mobile applications in a library context is attracting a great deal of interest in education field. A sparse amount of research was conducted in mobile library applications (MLA) previously, investigating the influential factors of intention to use MLA. Research here aims to provide empirical support on acceptance of MLA, library access through mobile applications, with the model developed by taking a technology acceptance model (TAM) in MLA context by adding perceived mobility value, system accessibility and satisfaction for investigating the influence on behavioural intention to use MLA. A self-administrated cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data from 321 users of MLA in the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) in Islamabad, while a structural equation model (SEM) using analysis of moment structure (AMOS) software was used for examining quantitative data. Results revealed that satisfaction and perceived ease of use are direct significant predictors of intention to use MLA, whereas system accessibility was influenced by the perceived ease of use. However, the perceived mobility value shows a weak effect on intention to use MLA in terms of perceived usefulness. Results serve as a guide for effective decision-making in development and resource allocation to ensure the success of the library’s vision and mission.

影响移动图书馆应用程序接受度的因素：结构方程模型

摘要在图书馆环境下使用移动应用程序的接受度和意图吸引了教育领域的极大兴趣。以前，在移动图书馆应用程序（MLA）中进行了少量的研究，调查了使用MLA的影响因素。本文的研究旨在为MLA的接受，通过移动应用程序访问图书馆提供经验支持，该模型是通过在MLA上下文中采用技术接受模型（TAM）并通过增加感知的移动性价值，系统可访问性和满意度来研究对行为的影响而开发的使用MLA的意图。在伊斯兰堡的COMSATS信息技术研究所（CIIT）进行了一项自我管理的横断面调查，以收集321名MLA用户的数据，同时使用矩分析（AMOS）软件的结构方程模型（SEM）来检查定量数据。结果表明，满意度和感知的易用性是使用MLA的直接重要指标，而系统的可访问性受感知的易用性的影响。但是，就感知的实用性而言，感知的移动性值对使用MLA的意图显示出较弱的影响。结果可作为有效制定开发和资源分配决策的指南，以确保成功实现图书馆的愿景和使命。而系统的可访问性受感知的易用性影响。但是，就感知的实用性而言，感知的移动性值对使用MLA的意图显示出较弱的影响。结果可作为有效制定开发和资源分配决策的指南，以确保成功实现图书馆的愿景和使命。而系统的可访问性受感知的易用性影响。但是，就感知的实用性而言，感知的移动性值对使用MLA的意图显示出较弱的影响。结果可作为有效制定开发和资源分配决策的指南，以确保成功实现图书馆的愿景和使命。
