Providing online support and consultation services for digital library use will enhance user experience and student satisfaction. Developing and expanding the digital collection will help students access a wide range of resources, meeting diverse learning and research needs. These recommendations not only promote innovation in education but also encourage students to use technology and digital libraries effectively, contributing to improved educational quality and supporting students in their learning and research process.
12. Future research directions:
Further research directions for this thesis could include: a deeper analysis of factors influencing digital library literacy, an evaluation of the effectiveness of training programs, a comparison of literacy among students from different universities, and the application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. Additionally, research into digital resource needs by discipline, an assessment of the impact of service improvements, and the potential for digital library integration between universities are also potential areas of study. These studies will deepen our understanding of digital library literacy and enhance service quality in higher education environments.
