Abstract

The i-NILAM system is a system that records activity of Nadi Ilmu Amalan Membaca (NILAM) in school. In order to predict user acceptance in technology, the researchers have decided to assess the current system based on theory acceptance model. The Technology Acceptance Model has been adopted as the theoretical framework to determine whether it could help to explain actual individual behavior using the technology. A questionnaire survey has been used and it involves 120 librarian media teachers from schools in Batang Padang district. More importantly, this system will contribute to the efficiency of the management of NILAM Programme. This paper also discusses the theory acceptance model which is a specific model based to explain and expect consumer acceptance towards technology. The results of structural equation modeling using AMOS 18 supported the adequacy of research model.
