Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a model of factors affecting the use of databases among academic users. Identifying the factors that lead to the acceptance and use of databases by academic users helps university library administrators and decision makers when selecting databases.
Methodology: The present study is descriptive survey. The statistical population consists of 319 postgraduate students of Yazd University. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data and the validity of this was done by using confirmatory factor analysis. Structural equation modeling, path analysis and software AMOS 20 and SPSS22 were used to test the hypotheses.
Findings: The findings of this study showed that the factors of usefulness and attitude were obtained by taking coefficients (0/420, 0/255), respectively, with positive and direct relation with Use of databases by academic users. The usefulness (β=0.516) and ease of use (β=0.202) had the highest and lowest impact in accepting databases, respectively.
