| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the information literacy competencies of undergraduate students in the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE), Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. FUPRE has a total of 2246 undergraduate students from the two colleges (Science and Technology). Simple random sampling and purposive sampling were used to select 10% of the population. The sample size used for the study is Two Hundred and Twenty-Five (225) undergraduate students. The instrument used for eliciting data from the respondents was a structured questionnaire. The data collected via the questionnaire were analysed using the descriptive statistics method. The findings revealed that the undergraduate students of FUPRE are highly information literate. The study has shown that the challenges in accessing information are no/ poor internet access, erratic power supply, and the absence of relevant academic databases, among others. The findings also revealed several strategies that can be deployed to improve the information literacy competencies of the undergraduate students. The study recommends amongst others that management should ensure power is uninterrupted in FUPRE to enable students charge their devices to browse the internet and also swift internet access should be made available within the FUPRE community to boost undergraduates’ access to information. | |
