최근 스마트폰, 태블릿PC 등 스마트 단말기의 보급 확대로 전자책 시장이 국내외에 지속적으로 성장하고 있지만, 실상은 생각보다 더디게 진행되고 있다. 2015년 전자책 독서실태 결과 지난 1년간 전자책 독서량은 지난번 조사에 비해 0.2권 감소한 1.4권에 그쳤으며 전자책 구독층이 가장 많은 10~20대의 전자책 이용 비중도 줄었다. 이에 본 연구는 대학도서관의 전자책 서비스에 있어서 지각된 가치와 지각된 위험을 기술수용모델(TAM)에 추가하여 서비스 이용자의 수용 후 지속적 사용의도를 실증적으로 분석하고자 한다. 이를 통해 향후 대학도서관 전자책 서비스, 더 나아가 정보서비스의 개발과 보급에 있어 유용한 시사점을 제고하고자 한다.
