Abstract

This study examines the influence of AI tools on library patronage in higher education institutions. It explores students’ AI usage patterns, the factors influencing their tool preferences, their frequency of library resource utilization, and their perceptions of both AI and library resources. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, data was collected through structured surveys distributed to students from four public state universities in Region I, Philippines, focusing on AI usage patterns, library resource utilization, and perceptions of both resources. The results show that students moderately use AI tools, primarily for resource discovery and study material recommendations. Key factors driving students’ AI preference include faster information retrieval, 24/7 availability, and enhanced learning experiences. Despite the convenience of AI, students continue to rely on library resources, particularly for accessing online databases and conducting in-depth research. While AI tools are seen as efficient and convenient, students acknowledge the critical role of libraries in supporting comprehensive academic work.
