Abstract
This study assessed library resources availability and accessibility as determinants of library use in Lagos State University Library. The study employed survey research design while data collection was done by means of questionnaire administration. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between library resources availability and students’ use of library (r = 0.433, P< 0.05). The study also showed a strong significant positive correlation between library resources accessibility and students’ use of library (r = 0.668, P< 0.05). It revealed a significant positive correlation between library resources accessibility and availability (r = 0.440, P< 0.05). The study further revealed that both information availability (β = 0.170, P < 0.05) and accessibility (β = 0.646, P < 0.05) significantly predicted undergraduate students’ library use. The study recommended that library online materials should be made available for undergraduate students’ accessibility and usage.
