    Computer self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and use of digital library resources among postgraduate students in private universities in Southwestern Nigeria
    (Journal of Library Services and Technologies 7(2), 2025-06) Segun-Adeniran, Chidi D.; Adetimirin, Airen
    This study examined the roles of computer self-efficacy and perceived enjoyment as driving factors influencing the usage of digital library resources among postgraduate students in private universities in Southwestern Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to investigate how these factors drive the adoption and sustained use of digital library resources to enhance academic success and research productivity. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected with the use of a structured questionnaire from 958 postgraduate students selected through a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses of percentages, frequencies, standard deviation and regression were used to analyze collected data. Results indicated that postgraduate students primarily use digital library resources for academic writing, particularly theses and dissertations. The study also showed that postgraduate students exhibit high levels of computer self-efficacy and that both computer self-efficacy (β = 0.237, p < 0.05) and perceived enjoyment (β = 0.349, p < 0.05) significantly and positively affect digital library resource usage, with perceived enjoyment exerting a stronger influence. The findings highlight the importance of enhancing both technological confidence and the enjoyment factor to increase digital resource utilization. It was recommended that private universities implement targeted training programs to boost students’ computer self-efficacy and redesign digital library interfaces to improve user experience and enjoyment.

    The impact of information quality on undergraduate engagement with digital library resources in private universities in Southwest Nigeria
    (Journal of Information, Communication and Media Research, 2025) Segun-Adeniran, Chidi D.; Alegbeleye, Bunmi Gabriel; Owolabi, Ruth
    This study investigated the influence of information quality on the use of digital library resources by undergraduates in private universities in Southwest, Nigeria. Data were obtained through a structured questionnaire administered to 396 undergraduates, selected using a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the overall information quality of digital library resources was rated high (x̅ = 2.54). However, while students affirmed their value, limitations in conciseness indicated a need for improved structuring to enhance readability and comprehension. Findings further showed that information quality (β = 0.593, t = 13.600, p < 0.05) had a strong positive and significant effect on the use of digital library resources. This underscores that improvements in information quality are directly linked to increased utilization and student engagement. The study concludes that sustained use of digital library resources depends not only on their availability but also on the clarity and organization of content. It recommends that universities strengthen conciseness and usability through improved structuring and summarization strategies to maximize their role in supporting students’ learning and academic performance.
