Abstract
The study investigated ICT skills and use of e-resources by undergraduates in selected private
university libraries in South-west, Nigeria. Survey research was adopted. The population of the
study was 4,913 undergraduates. Stratified Sampling technique was used to draw a sample size of
370. Data were collected with questionnaire. The result of the hypothesis showed that there was
significant relationship between ICT skills and use of electronic resources (r = 0.204, p<0.05). The
variable influenced the use of e-resources among undergraduates in faith-based private universities,
in South-west, Nigeria. The findings showed that majority of undergraduates use e-resources for
finding relevant information in their studies’ areas and assignment writing. The findings also
showed that undergraduates possessed high ICT skills, although their formulating search queries and
searching and retrieval skills were low. The study recommended that undergraduates should upgrade
their ICT skills.
