Abstract: This study investigated extent of awareness and usage of available electronic databases by undergraduates of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU), Nigeria. Descriptive research method and stratified sampling technique were used. A total of 312 structured questionnaires out of 374 administered to undergraduates were returned and analysed using simple percentage and mean. Results show that undergraduates of MOUAU are aware of the availability of the electronic databases. The students however have not been making adequate use of the databases. The authors of this study recommend that academic librarians should do more awareness campaign to increase level of usage. MOUAU Library Management should see to stable internet connection in the library and also ensure regular power supply to the library.
