Abstract
This study examines the influence of Library, Archive, and Museum (LAM) digital collections on the cultural competence of undergraduate humanities students in Thailand. Through a survey approach, the study evaluates how often students engage with these collections, the types of resources they access, and how these engagements may enhance their cultural insight. The results show a positive but modest correlation between the frequency of engagement with digital collections and cultural competence metrics. Qualitative data reveals both the benefits and challenges encountered by students in using these resources. This study contributes to an understanding of how LAM collections may promote cultural competence in higher education and highlights the need for improved accessibility and support for students.
