Abstract
The role of library resources in supporting
academic achievement has remained central to higher education globally. In
tertiary institutions, libraries provide access to textbooks, journals,
electronic databases, and learning spaces that support teaching, learning, and
research. With the increasing integration of digital technologies into
education, students now rely heavily on both physical and electronic
information resources to prepare for examinations and complete academic tasks.
A research was carried out to determine the impact of utilization of library
resources and internet resilience on student’s performance in Bauchi higher
institutions of learning, Bauchi state. The total of fifty (50) structural
questionnaires were allocated to various tertiary institutions within the study
area, which were distributed at random using random sampling techniques. The
targeted respondents were library staff, students and other academic staff in
the study area. The data generated from the respondents revealed that 50% of
the respondents recommended that utilization of library resources such as
textbooks, journals, news papers etc contribute significantly in improving the
performance of students particularly during semester examinations. While, 30%
of the respondents believed that sufficient and internet resilience contribute
immensely in improving student’s academic performance particularly during
examinations. However, 20% of the respondents recommended that both utilization
of library resources and internet resilience plays a vital role by improving
student’s performance both during exams and beyond. Therefore, library
resources utilization and internet resilience play a key role by improving
student’s performance during examinations and beyond. It can be recommended
that management should give more emphasis regarding library resources
utilization such as textbooks, journals, news papers etc and quality,
sufficient internet resilience in the campus e-libraries.
