ICT SKILLS AND ELECTRONIC INFORMATION RESOURCES UTILIZATION AMONG UNDERGRADUATE SANDWICH STUDENTS IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES

This study investigated ICT skills and electronic information resource (EIRs) utilization among undergraduate sandwich students in Nigerian universities. The study employed a descriptive survey design. Six hundred sandwich students in 4 public universities in South-west Nigeria were randomly selected for the study. A close-ended questionnaire was used for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study found that the students have a high level of ICT skills and low EIR utilization. The challenges the students encounter in using EIRs include a lack of required ICT skills to search the Internet, and inadequate ICT professionals in the library to help the students with the search. It was recommended that the students should endeavor to use their ICT skills to exploit the benefits of ICT and EIRs
