• Resumen

  • The objective of the study was to assess the influence of students’ self-efficacy and their use of electronic resources on their academic performance. A survey was conducted in The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan in which 307 students participated from five different faculties. A questionnaire was developed to gather the data for this study on variables related to demographic information of the respondents, their use of ‘library’s electronic resources’, ‘self-efficacy’, and ‘academic performance’. The results of the study concluded that the use of library’s e-resources has a significant influence on the academic performance of the students. However, it has a negative influence on students’ self-efficacy due to availability of wide ranging e-resources. The results of the study also concluded that self-efficacy is not correlated with academic performance of the students, however, it is negatively correlated with the use of university library’s e-resources.
