Abstract
their academic pursuit in tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom State. It employed the survey research
methodology which was conducted using questionnaire. To elicit responses for the study, four
research questions were formulated. The survey instrument which was a four-item structured
questionnaire were administered to one hundred and eight (108) students, randomly selected from the
final year class of the three tertiary institutions studied. Analyses of findings revealed that students
find the internet to be a very useful tool in their academic pursuit, which internet facilities available to students were found on the campuses, scattered about in cyber cafes rather than in the institutional
libraries. Notably, it was also discovered that some of the students could not utilize the indispensable
facilities of the internet due to lack of skill; and most respondents were limited to using only two search
engines. It was therefore recommended that facilitics for internet utilization be increased in the
University libraries and internet study introduced in all students programmes to accord them the
necded skills for navigating the net as these will influence their study patterns.
