This study investigated the awareness and utilization of e-library resources for academic achievement among faculty members, employing a qualitative methodology. The research aimed to explore how faculty members perceive the availability and usefulness of e-library resources and how these perceptions influence their academic activities and productivity. A sample of 10 faculty members from various departments was selected using purposive sampling to ensure a diverse representation of disciplines and experiences. Semi-structured interviews provided in-depth information concerning participants' experiences, attitudes, and problems faced while using the e-libraries. Major findings were that most faculty members are generally aware of the e-library resources, even though the extent of use is vastly different and dependent upon factors such as digital literacy, perceived ease of use, and accessibility of resources. It also identified some core barriers to optimum utilisation of e-libraries which include: technical problems, lack of training, and limited availability of specialized resources. The research further identified a dire need for intervention on focused plans to increase faculty members' interaction with e-library resources through training programs and improvement in infrastructure. The research concludes that increased awareness and proper use of the e-library would greatly improve the academic achievements of the faculty members, since relevant scholarly materials can be obtained with greater ease and facilitate innovative practices. The findings have implications for university administrators and policy makers who strive to improve library services in support of academic excellence.
