Abstract

This study is motivated by the limited research on the utilization of the ProQuest database in higher education environments, despite the critical role of scholarly databases in supporting the quality of students' academic writing. The purpose of this study is to analyze the utilization of the ProQuest database by students in the Library and Information Science Program at Universitas Negeri Padang in their academic writing processes. A descriptive quantitative method with a case study approach was employed, involving 66 students from the 2021 and 2022 cohorts selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), with two main indicators: Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. The results showed that students’ perceptions of the usefulness of ProQuest were relatively high, with an average score of 3.11, while their perceptions of ease of use were relatively low, with an average score of 2.18. These findings indicate that although students recognize the benefits of ProQuest, barriers remain in terms of accessibility and usability. Therefore, enhancing digital information literacy and providing technical training are essential to optimize the use of ProQuest as a credible reference source in students' academic writing.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the gap between the high intensity of social media use and the suboptimal level of students’ digital literacy, particularly in responding to BookTok content on TikTok, which is characterized by brevity, emotional appeal, and algorithm-driven exposure. This study aims to examine and describe the influence of BookTok content access intensity on the digital literacy of students in the Library and Information Science Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. A quantitative approach with an associative method was employed. The population consisted of 100 students from the 2022 cohort, from which 55 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed through normality and linearity tests, Pearson correlation, simple linear regression, and coefficient of determination using SPSS. The findings reveal that the intensity of accessing BookTok content has a significant effect on students’ digital literacy (p < .05), with a correlation coefficient of 0.713, indicating a strong relationship. The coefficient of determination of 0.508 shows that 50.8% of the variance in digital literacy is explained by BookTok access intensity, while the remaining 49.2% is influenced by other factors. Overall, both access intensity and digital literacy were categorized as good. These findings indicate that higher intensity of BookTok content access corresponds to higher levels of digital literacy among students. This study contributes to the literature on digital literacy and social media-based learning by demonstrating the role of algorithm-driven book-related content in shaping students’ digital competencies. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of critical and strategic engagement with social media and support the integration of social media-based digital literacy development within higher education contexts.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI technologies such as Gemini AI, has transformed how students access and use information in academic contexts. Although these technologies offer efficiency and convenience, concerns remain regarding students’ ability to critically evaluate the credibility of AI-generated information. This study aims to examine the effect of Gemini AI usage on the information literacy of students in the Library and Information Science Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. A quantitative approach with a descriptive and associative design was employed. The population consisted of 258 students, from which 72 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, product-moment correlation, and simple linear regression with IBM SPSS. The findings indicate that Gemini AI usage has a positive and significant effect on students’ information literacy, with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.130) shows that Gemini AI usage contributes 13% to students’ information literacy, while the remaining variance is influenced by other factors. Descriptively, students demonstrated strong abilities in identifying and accessing information; however, limitations were found in their ability to critically evaluate the accuracy and credibility of AI-generated content. This study concludes that Gemini AI usage can enhance students’ information literacy but does not fully support critical evaluation skills. The findings contribute to the literature on AI-assisted information behavior and imply the need to integrate AI adoption with the strengthening of critical and evaluative competencies in higher education.
