The purpose of this paper is to examine various factors affecting users' behavioral intention to use (BIU) enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, based on data from 75 potential end‐users of ERP systems.

A survey methodology is used to gather data. The research model is constructed based on the findings of the previous studies.

The results indicate that subjective norms, perceived usefulness (PU) and education level are determinants of BIU the system. In addition, PU affects attitude toward use, and both perceived ease of use (PEOU) and compatibility affect PU. In addition, among personal characteristics, education level has a significant effect on PEOU and behavioral intention. However, there is no significant relationship between attitude and behavioral intention.

As the sample is limited, the findings will require validation among other populations.

This paper provides evidence that compatibility and PEOU are important for the users to perceive the system's usefulness. Also, subjective norm is very important for the BIU the ERP systems.

This paper combines technology acceptance model, theory of reasoned action and innovation diffusion theory with personal characteristics of gender, education level and experience to determine the factors important for the acceptance of ERP systems.

In this study, industrialisation has been evaluated in the context of social change theory. Industrialisation as a period of social change is the source of public library development. The public library has emerged as a result of the changes in educational and cultural structure caused by industrialisation. Public libraries emerged as supporting elements of basic and adult diffused education effort. The change in thoughts, attitudes and values by the effect of urbanisation made public libraries a part of the new culture that is social life. The public library is a product of social change.
