Abstract

 

This paper ascertains the extent to which undergraduates in two federal university libraries in Nigeria are computer literate and how their computer literacy level has affected their use of Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC). Level of undergraduates’ computer literacy in both universities studied was high but their level of OPAC use was low. OPAC-compliant universities in Nigeria should identify reasons for low use of OPAC among their undergraduates and strategies should be placed to tackle them. Policies to encourage high level of OPAC use among undergraduates should be implemented by university libraries. Awareness programmes should be sustained to improve undergraduates’ level of OPAC use.

Keywords: Computer literacy, computer literacy skills, OPAC use, university, undergraduates, Nigeria.
