Empirical investigation of factors influencing willingness to use intelligent library chatbots: The role of algorithm literacy

The formal questionnaire was distributed online, resulting in 262 responses. After excluding inva-lid responses, there were 239 valid samples.Most participants are aged between 18 and 32, with a majority holding undergraduate or master's degrees. The highest proportion are university students, reflecting the characteristics of the library reader group with a predominance of young and student readers who have high demands on li-braries. The sample also includes professionals working with algorithms, ensuring high represent-ativeness.

本次研究通过线上渠道发放正式问卷，累计回收262份作答结果。经剔除无效作答后，最终保留239份有效样本。受访群体年龄集中在18至32岁之间，其中大部分参与者拥有本科或硕士学历。占比最高的受访者为在校大学生，这贴合图书馆读者群体的典型特征——即以年轻学生读者为主，且该群体对图书馆有着较高的使用需求。本次样本同时涵盖算法领域从业者，进一步保障了样本的高代表性。
