Abstract
Persuasive website quality evaluation is a technique concerned with testing the robustness and appeal of an online environment from a user’s perspective. The topic has recently gained some attention and in this study we will try to re-examining it in a knowledge sharing setting, e.g., digital libraries of academic institutions. The objective of the current article then is to analyze the connection between the persuasive quality of Kuwait University’s library portal and knowledge sharing success; and to report the results in hope of informing relevant discussion on the topic.
