Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed how academic information is accessed and used, particularly through social media platforms such as TikTok, which increasingly serve as alternative learning resources. However, the use of social media as an academic information source raises important questions about its effectiveness and contribution to students’ information behavior. This study aims to analyze the utilization of @buiramira’s educational TikTok content in relation to the use of academic information sources among students of the Library and Information Science Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. A quantitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed, involving 64 respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The findings indicate that the utilization of @buiramira’s educational TikTok content was categorized as high, with perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use scores of 3.08 and 3.07, respectively. The use of academic information sources was also categorized as high, as reflected in information behavior (3.13), information-seeking behavior (2.85), information-searching behavior (2.96), and information-use behavior (3.01). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between the utilization of educational TikTok content and the use of academic information sources, with a correlation coefficient of 0.656 and a significance level below 0.001. Simple linear regression further demonstrated a significant effect, with an F-value of 46.888. The study concludes that educational TikTok content can function as an initial academic information source and a supporting medium for students’ academic activities. These findings contribute to the literature on digital information behavior and highlight the need to strengthen students’ information literacy skills so that they can critically evaluate the credibility, relevance, and depth of academic information obtained through social media.

Abstract

The advancement of information technology in academic libraries requires improvements in service quality that extend beyond technical performance to address users’ psychological experiences. However, library anxiety remains a persistent issue that may hinder users’ optimal engagement with library services. This study aims to examine the relationship between librarian service quality and library anxiety among users of the Universitas Negeri Padang Library. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The study population consisted of 40,432 library visitors, from which 100 respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire developed based on the SERVQUAL model for measuring service quality and the Multidimensional Library Anxiety Scale (MLAS) for assessing library anxiety. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation with the assistance of SPSS software. The findings indicate that librarian service quality was categorized as good, with an average score of 3.15, whereas library anxiety was relatively low, with an average score of 2.28. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong and statistically significant negative relationship between librarian service quality and library anxiety, with a correlation coefficient of -0.679 and a significance level of <0.001. This result indicates that higher librarian service quality is associated with lower levels of user anxiety. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) of 46.1% suggests that service quality contributes substantially to reducing library anxiety, although other external factors may also influence users’ psychological experiences. The study concludes that librarian service quality plays a crucial role in creating a psychologically supportive, accessible, and user-friendly academic library environment. These findings contribute to the literature on service quality and user behavior in library science and offer practical implications for library management, particularly in strengthening empathy, communication, and user assistance to minimize library anxiety.
