dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to focus on the use of electronic resources by undergraduates in three private university libraries in South-west, Nigeria. It further seeks to examine the frequency of use of e-resources and problems encountered by undergraduates while using electronic resources. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 4,913 undergraduates of mission-owned private universities in South-west, Nigeria. A stratified sampling technique was used to draw a sample size of 370. Data was collected with a questionnaire. The findings showed that the majority of the respondents used e-resources to find relevant information in their area of studies; wrote term papers/did their assignments, and updated their knowledge. The findings also showed that e-resources were regularly used among undergraduates. The study concluded that poor connectivity and electricity failure constituted the major challenges to the use of eresources among undergraduates. The study recommended that efforts should be made by universities and library management in the selected institutions to improve on the bandwidth and enhance the Internet connectivity.
