The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between lecturers’ ability to identify the extent of information need, access information and utilization of digital library resources in Federal Universities, Southern Nigeria.,Correlational research design was adopted. The population of the study comprised 6,653 lecturers’ with a sample size of 665 selected through proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Instruments for data collection were cognitive test and questionnaire used for utilization of digital library resources. Kuder–Richardson method was used to establish the internal reliability coefficient, yielding the score 0.77, 0.78, respectively, and Cronbach alpha for questionnaire yielding 0.81. Data collected were analyzed using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. In testing the hypotheses, p-value was used to determine the level of significance at the 0.05 alpha level.,The results show low positive relationship between abilities to identify the extent of information, access information in the utilization of digital library resources. The hypotheses were rejected, indicating a positive relationship between abilities to identify extent of information need, access information and utilization of digital library resources.,The findings of this study provide novel facts that help to clarify existing uncertainties and ambiguity in the link between some elements of information literacy and the use of digital library resources in developing economies such as Nigeria.

识别信息需求和访问信息的能力，这些信息与讲师对数字图书馆资源的利用相关

本文的目的是研究尼日利亚南部联邦大学的讲师识别信息需求程度，访问信息与数字图书馆资源利用之间的关系。采用了相关研究设计。研究人群包括6653名讲师，通过按比例分层随机抽样技术选择了665名样本。数据收集的工具是认知测试和用于利用数字图书馆资源的问卷。使用Kuder–Richardson方法建立内部可靠性系数，问卷的得分分别为0.77、0.78和Cronbach alpha，得分为0.81。使用Pearson乘积矩相关系数分析收集的数据。在检验假设时，p值用于确定0.05 alpha水平的显着性水平。结果表明，在数字图书馆资源的利用中，识别信息的能力，访问信息的能力之间的正相关性较低。假设被否定，表明识别信息需求，访问信息的能力和数字图书馆资源利用之间的正相关。本研究的发现提供了新颖的事实，有助于澄清某些要素之间联系中的现有不确定性和歧义。尼日利亚等发展中经济体的信息素养和数字图书馆资源的使用情况。在利用数字图书馆资源时访问信息。假设被否定，表明识别信息需求，访问信息的能力和数字图书馆资源利用之间的正相关。本研究的发现提供了新颖的事实，有助于澄清某些要素之间联系中的现有不确定性和歧义。尼日利亚等发展中经济体的信息素养和数字图书馆资源的使用情况。在利用数字图书馆资源时访问信息。假设被否定，表明识别信息需求，访问信息的能力和数字图书馆资源利用之间的正相关。本研究的发现提供了新颖的事实，有助于澄清某些要素之间联系中的现有不确定性和歧义。尼日利亚等发展中经济体的信息素养和数字图书馆资源的使用情况。
