Data analysis was done using SPSS version 24 and PLS version 3 software. Descriptive statistics tables, single sample t test and structural equations were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the effectiveness of library variables and high technology skills were reported at a desirable level. Also, technology and library skills include the ability to diversify and search methods, flexibility in facing new information, the ability to distinguish right from wrong, the ability to clarify and disseminate information, the degree of mastery in knowing sources and tools and Ability to describe and review information.
