Abstract

This study examines internet and information sourcing among Olabisi Onabanjo University Students. It specifically examine the Olabisi Onabanjo University Students access to internet; the pattern of internet usage among Olabisi Onabanjo University Students. It also investigated the purpose for which the internet is being used by the students; and the obstacles on students access and usage of the internet. In order to achieve the objective, descriptive survey design was adopted. A sample size of two hundred (200) was drawn from the entire population using accidental sampling techniques. The instrument that was used to gather information from the participants is a questionnaire. Data generated from the respondents were analysed with descriptive statistics such as frequency count and simple percentage. Findings from the study revealed that students have access to the internet through their mobile phone. It showed that students used the internet daily and source for information daily. Also, the sample students spend at least 2 hours on the internet every day. Majority of the students use the internet for research and writing project. Almost all of the students use the internet to do their class assignment and class work. However, it was revealed that constant network connection problem hinder students access to internet. In conclusion, the use of internet facility by the respondents has led to prompt access to information needed for class assignments and improvement of quality of their project/research work. Among other recommendations is that the school should have its own dedicated bandwidth for students to access information on line for low cost and if possible, more e-library should be built and students should be encouraged to make use of the libraries.
