Two separate questionnaires were used to gather data. 200 registered library users; 65 academic staff and 135 Students were selected using the stratified random sampling technique to ascertain the extent at which the users are aware of the availability of e-resources in the University Library. The University Library under study had sufficient number of Internet nodes, 160mbps bandwidth, a dedicated internet connection using Fiber Optic.
