Abstract
This study investigated utilization of electronic resources by the users in the Kwara State University Library, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised of 3,670 registered users with the library and a sample of 367 was selected using simple random sampling technique. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. 367 copies of the questionnaire were administered while 345 were returned which used for the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics for the research questions. The findings showed that all the types of electronic resources listed in the study are available with electronic books having the highest responses. The study found out that there is no significant difference in the extent to which users utilize ERs. The study recommended among others that since electronic books are available in the university library, the University library management should intensify the availability of other types especially CD-ROMs and DVD by supplying more.
