Abstract
This paper examined the level of patronage of electronic journals/information in the Electronic Information Department (EID) of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Library. Data for the study was collected from the request forms available at the EID as at the time of the study. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS software. It was revealed by the data available that there is first and foremost under utilization of the electronic journals that have been subscribed by the University Library. It was also revealed that many of the requests that were made came from postgraduate and final year undergraduate students. Among some of the recommendations made were further sensitization of students about the importance of the resources, and the intensification of user education in the form of an online training manual in both audio and text and its incorporation into the curriculum of the proposed information literacy skills programme to be run by the University Library.
