Abstract

Higher education in Nigeria has come under severe criticisms in recent time due to poor quality of its products. There is urgent need for academic institutions in Nigeria to catch up with innovations in educational practices in developed economies. This paper explores the benefits of digital libraries to higher education in Nigeria. It examines the challenges being faced by higher education in Nigeria. It highlights the fact that digital libraries are critical and essential for effective teaching, research, and learning in all tertiary institutions and it should therefore, be priority. However, the paper stresses on the Gender Difference in the use of digital libraries, that the development of digital libraries should not be conceived as a panacea for the myriads of challenges facing higher education in Nigeria but that it is a technology that promises to address some of these challenges. Therefore, strong and unwavering commitment by all the stakeholders towards the deployment of digital libraries in tertiary education is recommended.
