摘要

This study explores the possibility of incorporating mobile technology to improve library services in an academic library of higher education. The objectives of the study are to: i) Examine the current service of library notification in University of Malay library; ii) Identify issues, problems and difficulties face by library patrons when receiving library notification service; iii) Propose a supporting platform that can improve library notification service in University of Malaya; and iv) Evaluate the prototype of the new proposed library notification system. Quantitative methods of two types of questionnaires, both openended and close-ended, were administered to respondents that consist of librarians and students to investigate the current service of library notification system in UM's library. The findings indicate that there are a number of weaknesses in the existing e-mail notification system. 72% of respondents face problems as regards return of books they borrowed from the library even though there is an e-mail notification system. 61% of the respondents did not receive notification on overdue books and information on arrival of new books. The findings also reveal that quite a large number (i.e. 58%) concur that integrating SMS in the proposed notification system would facilitate to resolve the problem of notifying students on overdue books, arrival of new books and operating schedule more efficiently. Respondents were receptive towards implementing a supporting platform that can improve library notification service in University of Malaya library via mobile technology by utilizing a SMS-based notification system as evaluation of the prototype indicates a positive reaction from the respondents.
