Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare two models of service quality, technical/functional quality and SERVQUAL in university library services to find out the best library service model which pleases students most. Two proposed models were tested with 347 students at the Faculty of Economics, University of Technology, and University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City. The results show that SERVQUAL is better than the technical/functional quality model. Therefore, SERVQUAL is chosen to evaluate the quality of library services. The results also show that SERVQUAL consists of only two components: caring service and tangibles, in which caring service has a stronger effect on students’ satisfaction.
