In taking into full consideration of the technology acceptance model (TAM),this empirical study has made a few assumptions and also has formulated a model for the study on the level of satisfaction of database users.This research project was conducted by collecting relevant data from library users of five universities.Specifically,it aimed to measure database users’ level of satisfaction and tried to fimd factors affecting these graduate students who are using databases regularly at their university libraries.An analysis of the collected data shows that the level of database users’ satisfaction could be directly affected by the database service quality,the easiness of accessing the system and user perceived notion of usefulness of those databases that they use often.This study also found that database users’ gender could be a significant factor in their perceived notion of easiness of accessing databases,and also in their perceived notion of satisfaction for their successful information retrieval operations.The frequency of accessing databases by these graduate students has an impact on users’ perceived notion of easiness of database access.The users’school classifications could make a significant difference in their perceived notion on the extent of usefulness of a particular database.
