Abstract: 

Since previous study offered a more general context of the IT acceptance model, here we place specific emphasis on the library context. Our study examines whether and why the Technology Acceptance Model (T.A.M.) can be used in a multi-purpose system (M.P.S.) in a university. The M.P.S. is a system for users to borrow, return and renew books on loan. The variables in this study were modified, such as Perceived Usefulness (P.U.) and Perceived Ease of Use (P.E.O.U.) as independent variables and acceptance of IT as a dependent variable. The sampling technique used was proportionate stratified random, using 98 students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education who have implemented the M.P.S. system. Data processing techniques used multiple linear regression analysis with the SPSS data processing tool. The results showed that usefulness and ease of use have significantly positive effect on the M.P.S. acceptance model. The research focused on a university context in single province in Indonesia. Further research may extend the study with a focus on profit or non-profit organisations and different geographical areas.
