Abstract

This study examined the level of study of students and use of library resources in three Nigerian Universities. The study sample population comprises 1300 students in the three universities. Only one research question were posed. The instrument used for data collection in this study was questionnaire. The major findings of the study revealed that use of library resources increase as the level of students increases at University of Ibadan (U.I) and University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB) while only year three students used more library resources at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) as compared to the two other Universities. The study recommends that awareness be made to students on library use and a guideline on library use be made available to them so that the resources can be used to the maximum.
