Abstract
Abstract The study investigated the influence of Library anxiety and Computer literacy skills on the use of library information resources amongst undergraduates in selected private universities in South–West Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted. 335 questionnaires were administered and 257 were returned giving 76.77% response rate. The study revealed a high level of Library anxiety and Computer literacy skills. Insufficiency of library facilities and poor internet facilities top the list of challenges. The study shows significant relationships between Computer literacy skills (r = 0.44; p < 0.05), library anxiety (r = −0.292; p < 0.05) and use of library information resources and a significant joint influence of library anxiety and computer literacy skills on the use of library information resources of the respondents.
