Abstract :

The research examined ICT phobia and electronic resources usage by undergraduates Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti. The research design used in the study was a descriptive survey. The entire 200L and 300L student body of the College of Technology made up the study's population, and the complete enumeration sampling approach was applied. The instrument for gathering data was a questionnaire. Frequency counts and simple percentages were used to examine the data. Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), e-books, e-journals, and e-databases are the electronic resources that undergraduate students utilize the most frequently in BOUESTI, according to the research. Furthermore, the survey discovered that students use electronic resources for term papers, test preparation, homework, and class assignments because they believe them to be relevant to their academic work. The study revealed that the consumption of e-resources was sporadic, suggesting that more lobbying and awareness-raising efforts are required to encourage continuous utilization
