Abstract :
An electronic resource is a modern way of
accessing information resources through the use of
computers and technological networks. The researchers
investigate the factors affecting the utilization of
electronic resources among undergraduate students in
tertiary institutions in Kebbi state. Three research
question was designed which are what are the factors
affecting the utilization of electronic resource among
undergraduate students in Kebbi state, what are the
utilization of electronic resources among the
undergraduate student in Kebbi state tertiary
institution, and suggested measures that will help in
solving the factors affecting the utilization of eresources among undergraduate student of tertiary
institutions inKebbi state. Although tertiary institutions
in Kebbi state have not fully automated their resources
and services, they are rather acquiring electronic
resources to complement the paper-based resources
because of their numerous important and some of the
electronic resources are e-books, e-journals, online
databases, and online public access catalogs. Some of the
e-Resources software used is Koha Application and
Dspace application for libraries. The result indicates that
the undergraduate students in Kebbi state tertiary
institutions do not fully utilize electronic resources
because of the following reasons: Lack of proper
network to access information online, and insufficient
numbers of computers in the library. A research
questionnaire was designed and distributed physically
out of 260 questionnaires, of which 249 were dully filled
and returned successfully, 5 Likert scales were always
used to analyze the data using SPSS version 2.0. With a
mean score. Also, the factors affecting the utilization of
electronic resources among undergraduate Students in
tertiary institutions in Kebbi state necessitate the need
for similar research to be conducted to understand more
