    Assessing user satisfaction of koha in the private university libraries of Bangladesh
    (The Eastern Librarian, 2020) Alam, Md Jahangir; Mezbah-ul-Islam, Muhammad
    This study assessed the user satisfaction of library automation software (Koha) in private university libraries of Bangladesh. The survey conducted among three hundred seventy-two library users from thirteen private university libraries by a structured questionnaire which was adapted cautiously as per local arrangements after conducting a pilot survey. User category computed the users' responses for satisfaction through independent samples t-test. The Bartlett’s test of sphericity and Cronbach's alpha measured the reliability of each multiple-items scale. Besides, item loading, commonalities, and KMO measured the validity. The overall satisfaction (3.64) ensured favorable appreciation by the users, and their level of satisfaction was reasonably very well. The students’ satisfaction level (3.58) was significantly less (p < .006) than the teachers (3.83) in the private university libraries of Bangladesh. An attempt has been taken for the first time to assess the user satisfaction of library automation software (Koha) in the private university libraries of Bangladesh that will prompt further research on different aspects of Koha.

    Factors for adoption of OSILS in university libraries of Bangladesh
    (IFLA Journal, 2019) Alam, Md. Jahangir; Mezbah-ul-Islam, Muhammad
    This study identified the influential factors for adoption of OSILS in university libraries in Bangladesh. The survey was carried out among 196 library professionals from 14 private and seven public university libraries by a structured questionnaire which was adapted cautiously as per local arrangements after conducting a pilot survey. Factors for adoption of OSILS were analyzed by multiple regressions where overall satisfaction was used as dependent variable, and 14 factors for adoption of OSILS were applied as the independent variables. The entire model of regression analysis was established to be significant and revealed that cost-effectiveness, open source code, supporting community, backup and restore systems, easy to integrate with other software, and freedom from licensing fee significantly influenced library professionals to adopt OSILS. Moreover, an effort has been made for the first time to evaluate significant factors for adoption of OSILS in university libraries of Bangladesh that will prompt future research on OSILS.
