The population of the study comprised librarians in six (6) selected academic libraries which cut across all the South-Western states in Nigeria. A total enumeration sampling was applied. A total of 103 of the 105 copies of the questionnaire were returned and valid for data analysis. The data gathered was subjected to descriptive statistics i.e. frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Results showed that academic websites, electronic journals, electronic books and full text databases were the main types of electronic resources accessible at the two selected university libraries located in South-West, Nigeria. The libraries employed android phones, laptops, smart phones, portable devices, and smart wristwatches as main electronic resource access devices. The major strategies for the management of electronic resources are collection development policies, huge information reservoirs, easy citations, archive and installing air-conditionals. Collection development policies, air conditioning installation, large information reservoirs, simple citations, and archiving were the main techniques used to manage their electronic resources. Lack of access to the internet, poor resource collection, restricted access to computer terminals, and non-availability of electronic resources are the main issues with the creation and administration of electronic resources. It was recommended that university libraries should provide trained staff to assist patrons in utilizing electronic resources and expand access to diverse electronic materials, including databases,conferenceproceedings,andelectronictheses,toenhancenavigation, academic productivity, and research opportunities for staff and students.enUtilisation of electronic resourcesManagement of electronic resourcesElectronic information resourcesUniversity of Ibadan Journal of Library and Information Science UI-JLIS17
