Abstract

This study investigates students ICT readiness, usage of online resources and information seeking behaviour of secondary school students with the specific goal of applying the results to the design of a collaborative digital library for school projects. The digital library has been conceived to support resource needs of these students as well provide the space for them to publish their school projects, which are currently submitted handwritten. The study uses the case study approach and an urban secondary school in Malaysia is chosen as the case school. This paper reports the findings from a survey and focus group interviews which indicate that the students are ready to collaboratively build the digital library as evidenced by students digital library readiness score of 69%.
