Abstract

Abstract This study sought to examine the relationship between virtual learning and library usage among students in Adeleke University. A total enumeration technique was adopted for sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Of the 903 participants surveyed, 75.3% always attended the virtual lecture. 30.7% use the library two or three times a week, while 25.4% use the library once a week. Virtual learning has a positive, statistically significant relationship with library usage (r = 0.224, P < 0.05), library services usage (r = 0.201, P < 0.05) and level of satisfaction (r = 0.255, P < 0.05). The study concluded that virtual learning is essential for Adeleke University students’ use of the library and its services, since technology serve as a tool that bridges geographical boundaries, thereby providing easy accessibility to resources.
