Based on the findings of the study, it is recommending that efforts should be made to acquire the online electronic resources that are lacking in the library; the library management should ensure that the library staff use the available online electronic resources to provide services. Again, there should be regular training and re-training of library staff on the use of online electronic resources for service provision in the library studied, and that there should be concerted efforts to tackle the problems faced by the library in the application of online electronic resources for service provision.
