In the context of developing countries, Okello-Obura and Magara (2008) investigated electronic
information access and utilization at the East African School of Library and Information Science, Makerere
University, Uganda. Out of the 250 targeted students, 190 responded, giving a response rate of 76%. The study
revealed that users derive a lot of benefits from electronic resources by gaining access to a wider range of
information and improved academic performance as a result of access to quality information.
