    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024-12) Timothy Akinlolu OKE
    Quality postgraduate research depends on the availability and accessibility of current, diverse and relevant information resources which is available through the digital libraries. However, despite the advantages, digital libraries created by academic libraries often received less patronage compared to other digital resources. In view of this, the study examines the influence of information quality and system quality in the motivation to use digital library resources among postgraduate students of private university students in Oyo State. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. Population of the study include ,789 postgraduate students from Dominion University, Ibadan and Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire. Data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the data analysis shows that information quality (R2 = 0.152; p = 000) has a moderate influence while system quality (R2 = 0. 021.; p = 014) has a weak but significant influence on the motivation to use digital library resources among postgraduate students. In addition, the study found that both information quality and system quality significantly contribute to motivating students to use digital library resources, with system quality showing a stronger impact. The study concluded that digital libraries are essential resources for postgraduate studies but it uses may be affected by poor perception of information and system quality among other factors. It was therefore recommended that academic library management in private universities should prioritize more frequent updates to digital library resources to ensure students have access to the latest academic resources. It was also recommended that universities should prioritize ongoing usability improvements in the digital library.
