Abstract
The study examined the influence of digital literacy skills on students’ academic engagement. The study population was 395 final year Library and Information Science (LIS) students in three (3) selected universities accredited to offer Library and Information Science and allied courses in South-West, Nigeria. A sample size of 199 was determined using Taro Yamane’s (1973) formula. Stratified random sampling was used to select the respondents who participated in the study. A structured and validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The study found that digital literacy skills had positive and significant influence on academic engagement of undergraduates. Therefore, the study recommended that the university management, during student orientation program, should emphasize the conscious effort students themselves must make to take charge of their academic life. The universities should use digital platforms as much as possible for the delivery of teaching-learning processes. Keywords: Academic engagement, Digital literacy, Library and Information Science students, Nigeria, Undergraduates
