The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire and study employed descriptive design to investigate the percentage of institutional budget allotted to the library and the impact of internally generated fund on the running of the academic libraries studied. The study was conducted in five Private Universities in Osun State, Nigeria where 24 librarians were respondents.
