The use of technology in the form of e-library applications, especially e-books,
is an important element in increasing digital literacy among educators and
students. Utilization of electronic books (E-books) as a user activity in
searching for and accessing necessary information through e-library
applications. E-book utilization refers to the way users search for the
information they need. The aim of this research is to determine the use of ebooks in e-library applications in increasing digital literacy of users. This
research uses a descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach.
Observation, interviews and documentation as data collection methods. The
use of e-books in e-library applications also contributes to increasing ease of
access to information and the level of digital literacy for users. Users use ebooks to support the learning, work, research and self-development processes.
According to the author, the use of e-books at the Muhamadiyah Bengkulu
University Library UPT is still less than optimal, the existing collections in
the e-library application are still relatively limited or not diverse, this is due
to the limited budget of the library unit so that users cannot make maximum
use of e-books. So with this, it is hoped that in the future librarians will make
every effort to increase the collection of library materials, as well as carry out
promotions so that readers can maximize the use of e-books and utilize them
effectively.
