Abstract

The study examined library information resources use by library and information science (LIS) undergraduates in Nigeria and ascertained the relationship with the academic performance of the students. The ex-post facto research design was used and 1,526 LIS undergraduates studied. Primary and secondary data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Print library information resources were mostly used and there was a statistically significant relationship between LIS undergraduates’ use of library information resources and academic performance. The study established that library information resources use predicts academic performance. University libraries therefore should provide resources to enhance the undergraduates’ performance.
