Deriving the benefits of electronic information resources as provided by electronic medical record systems (EMR) on a global scale is critically dependent on physicians' adoption and continued use of such resources. Yet, there is little known about the factors that motivate physicians to adopt and continue to use electronic information resources. The purpose of this article is to investigate the motivational factors leading to adoption and usage of electronic information resources in diverse regions of the world including developing countries (India and Egypt) and developed countries (the US). Based on the socio-cognitive theory and the decomposed theory of planned behavior, the authors surveyed 314 physicians in three countries in order to assess their engagement with electronic information resources. Data was analyzed via PLS for direct and indirect effects of socio-cognitive constructs and their impact on electronic information resources' use intentions. The authors' results suggest there are similarities as well as differences in factors impacting adoption and usage of electronic information resources pre and post EMR implementation in both developing and developed countries. They found that physicians' perceptions of effort expectations, technological infrastructure and support, and computer self-efficacy were the strongest direct drivers influencing intentions to use electronic information resources both in pre and post-EMR implementations in all three countries that were studied. However, a richer set of factors contributed to physicians' intentions to continue to use electronic information resources, post-EMR, in developed countries as compared to pre-EMR in developing countries. Social influences had a strong indirect effects, influencing physicians' perceptions of effort expectations post-EMR as well as perceptions of performance expectations pre-EMR implementation. Computer self-efficacy was a significant predictor of effort expectations of an electronic information resource both pre and post-EMR implementation while compatibility with physicians' practices significantly influenced performance expectations in both pre and post EMR implementations in all three countries studied. The authors' study provides important theoretical and practical implications for successful management and implementation of electronic information resources such that they are adopted and used in the healthcare environment.

The focus of this research work was to investigate computer self-efficacy and facilitating conditions as correlates of behavioural intention to use electronic information resources by MBA students in Nigeria federal universities.  Cluster sampling technique was adopted for the study and systematic sampling technique was used to select 60% of the total population of the MBA students across the ten federal universities offering the programme based on probability and proportionate size. Data were collected using questionnaire designed to elicit response from respondents and analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis using Partial Lease Square Method (PLSEM), Mean, Standard Deviation and Percentages. However, out of one thousand two hundred and seventy (1,270) copies of questionnaire administered to the respondents, one thousand and fifteen copies (1,015) were returned which represents 79.9% response rate for the study.  Findings revealed that the level computer self-efficacy and facilitating conditions of MBA students towards use of electronic information resources in Nigeria federal universities was high. However, the study concluded that university managements and librarians should ensure rapid adoption and diffusion of ICTs and be proactive by developing relevant ICT policies and strategies toward effective and sustainable electronic information resources development in Nigerian universities, as well as promoting the use of relevant electronic information resources by MBA students to improve their quality of research and global competitiveness.

This chapter focuses on multidisciplinary research about needs and the behavior of real and potential information users. The research is carried out in a university context to address social issues as well as to find solutions appropriate to the Uruguayan context, which is rather different from the one in developed countries. The chapter focuses on the discussion of the research results, on the developed electronic information resources, and on the impact on the target population and social mediators. The chapter also focuses on the multidisciplinary work experience, which carries out the research group through meetings and workshops with social actors and decision makers on social policies. This research constitutes a step forward in the development of information and communication sciences as well as to improve the information domain in Uruguay.

Electronic Information Resources

The introduction of electronic register systems for all spheres of state functioning is becoming more widespread in developed countries. It is the systems, not individual registers, that create the conditions for the comprehensive and effective use of available information in the field of state and local government, research, business planning, and so on. In our opinion, health care registries are the most important among other systems, so it is important to study the experience of the most developed countries in the field of creating electronic medical information resources. The use of the experience gained by advanced European countries in this area is especially useful for Ukraine, where such a system is being developed. The purpose of the article is to summarize the experience of Northern European countries in the use of electronic information resources of health care for its implementation in Ukraine. The novelty of the article is a generalized and comparative analysis of health registry systems in Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Estonia, Sweden, Finland and a study of the role of medical, statistical and scientific institutions in the development of these systems. The research methodology is based on the application of the following methods: system analysis, scientific generalization, comparative analysis, research methods of complex systems. The article examines the health care systems of six northern European countries, compares the composition and features of these systems. The focus is on electronic information resources, which are introduced only in some countries. It is established that the Danish and Norwegian systems are the most branched among the systems of other studied countries and contain not only a larger number of specialized registers, but also have the largest number of organizations that maintain these registers. The holders of registers and databases in different countries are not only the relevant ministries but also research institutes and universities. In addition, statistical authorities also create registers that are used for society’s statistical information needs. The study thus summarizes the experience of creating and operating electronic information resources in the field of health care in Northern European countries, concludes that it can be used in the implementation of a similar Ukrainian, the process of which began several years ago.

Electronic Information Resources

The advent of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has revolutionised how library resources are made and transmitted to end-users. It has effectively improved the standard of education and research in tertiary institutions worldwide by providing various essential resources, including e-books, journals and databases. However, it has been observed that students still abstain from making the best usage of the digital library, instead using search engines rather than institutional digital libraries. This study investigated the factors influencing the behavioural intention of postgraduate (PG) students to use electronic information resources (EIRs). The Unified Theory of Acceptance of Technology (UTAUT) model was adopted. A cross-sectional research design was used to assess the factors influencing the use of EIRs. A sample of 362 PG students was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Data were collected from participants via the administration of 400 copies of the questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) were used to analyse data collected. The findings revealed that performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) were the two constructs that influenced PG students’ behavioural intention to use EIRs. In contrast, social influence (SI) and facilitating condition (FC) did not change the PG students’ behavioural plan to use EIRs. The study recommended the need for adequate training for postgraduate (PG) students on the obligation to accept and use EIRs.
