dc.description.abstractInstitutional repositories provide a rich source of information for researchers globally. This has led to the development of thousands of repositories by universities around the world. However, the use of institutional repository by academic staff in Nigerian universities has been observed to be below expectation. Consequently, researchers have examined various factors relating to the use of institutional repositories. This study examined the influence of awareness and anchor factors on the use of institutional repositories by academic staff of universities in Oyo and Osun States. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A structured questionnaire was adopted as the instrument for data collection. The study population consists of 1,009 academic staff from four universities in Oyo and Osun States. Taro Yamane formula was used to determine the sample of 286. The quantitative data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that the level of institutional repository use (Mean =3.04), awareness (Mean =2.89), and anchor factors (Mean =3.06), is high among the respondents. The test of hypothesis showed that awareness (Adj. R2 = 0.152, p= 0.000) and anchor factors (Adj. R 2 = 0.164, p= 0.000) both have significant influence on the use of institutional repositories among the respondents. However, multiple regression analysis shows that, while awareness (p=0.000) has a significant combined influence on the use of institutional repositories among the respondent, anchor factors (p=0.122) do not have a significant influence. The study concluded that the use of institutional repositories by academic staff of universities remains the best approach to create better access to information resources and ensure greater impact for Nigerian research. It was therefore recommended that librarians should develop strategies to evaluate awareness programmes and also work closer with academic staff to develop task- oriented skills that enhance effective use of institutional repositories.
