This study attempted to confirm the reading behavior of Generation Z college students in Korea, including their perception of e-book use, and to find out the changes caused by COVID-19. To this end, university students across the country were surveyed for e-book recognition and use, e-book usage status, e-book preference recognition, and comparison items of university libraries and e-book use before and after COVID-19. As a result of the analysis, university libraries had a significant impact on the use of e-books by Generation Z college students, and COVID-19 partially affected reading behavior, such as a significant change in the average daily reading time of Generation Z college students.
