adopted descriptive survey design and used a sample of 376 undergraduate students. Data for the
study was collected using a questionnaire and were analyzed using frequency count and
percentage while the two hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation
(PPMC). The study found that majority of the undergraduate students had a high level of
computer self-efficacy which influence their use of electronic information resources. In the same
vein, the study found that majority of the undergraduate students found that information literacy
skills influence their use of electronic information resources. Furthermore, the study found that
the combination of computer self-efficacy and information literacy skills influence the use of
electronic information resources by undergraduate students in University of Ilorin and Kwara
State University. Similarly, the study found that majority of the undergraduate students use
electronic information resources to do their assignment and also use electronic information
resources to get relevant academic materials through personal searches. On the other hand, the
study found that that management should provide good facilities (e.g., good computer hardware
and software and good communication network) to support usage and also improve internet
connectivity to improve the use of electronic resources among the undergraduate students.
Finally, the study found that both computer self-efficacy and information literacy skills have a
significant relationship with the use of electronic information resources.
