Abstract
The academic library serves as the hub for serious and rigorous intellectual inquiry and scholarly creation. The academic library existed because students existed. But since the emergence of ICT, which led to the dependence on Google and other search engines to seek solutions to class problems, the fear of academic libraries being pushed aside has been rumoured. To this effect, it is necessary to dive into the scope of weighing the relevance and success rate of the academic library in this ICT age. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, the population of study are Federal Polytechnic Ilaro students, with a population of over 6,449 students for the academic year 2021–2022. Students' data (their library attendance) was collected over the course of twelve months (July 2021 to June 2022). To collect information from randomly selected Federal Polytechnic Ilaro students, 150 well- structured questionnaires titled "The Assessment of Patronage of Academic Libraries among Federal Polytechnic Ilaro Students" were used. A total of 120 (80%) respondents responded to the questionnaire items. It was discovered from the study’s findings that the students' school population against the library usage was not very encouraging as the students tended to make use of the library more during the examination period. Based on the findings, it is necessary for academic libraries to make their materials electronic (digitalised) so that students and other users can have easy and quick access to them. This will give a lasting facelift to the academic library
