dc.description.abstractInternet Resources plays a great role or implication in information accessibility, usability, and effective retrieval. This has added more value to students in their performance and endeavors towards career goals achievement. However, effective use of internet resources by students absolutely depends on information literacy and awareness on available internet resources. Thus, the study was conducted to assess the role of information literacy in enhancing utilization of internet resources among university students, specifically the study intended to examine students’ awareness of the information literacy programs and available internet resources, to find out the relationship between awareness, perception, and use of internet resources, and identifying training programs that relate to information literacy at university level. The study was carried out at the University of Dar es Salaam and adopted an exploratory research design. The study used an electronic questionnaire for data collection and probability sampling technique for identifying a sample of respondents at the University. The study indicated most of the students are computer literate and are aware of the availability of electronic information resources. The study also revealed that students who were aware of available internet resources demonstrated high usage of internet resources. It also noted that Information literacy and lifelong learning are the only courses that relate to information literacy at the University. However, the study revealed that most of the respondents agreed that lack of proficiency in information and computer literacy skills are the limiting factors towards efficient utilization of internet resources. It is therefore recommended that information literacy should be offered as a core course during the first semester of the first year to all students across the university so as to enhance effective use of internet resources for excellence in academic and research.en_US
