The development of digital library services has been critical to academic institutions by offering fast, convenient, and remote access to various information sources. Digital library services refer to computer-mediated sources of information and services made available through computer networks for academic learning and research purposes. The aim of this research was to investigate the utilization and influence of digital library services on the performance of academic staff and students regarding information acquisition. The descriptive and analytical research methodology was applied and data was obtained from a total number of 270 respondents, comprising 185 students and 85 staff members from select higher institutions of learning. It was revealed that students make more use of digital library sources compared to their academic counterparts, with the vast majority accessing digital libraries on daily or weekly bases. Services such as e-books, online journals, search engines for literatures, email services, question banks, and web-based information sources were established as being widely used in academic institutions. Digital library services facilitate greater access to academic information and positively influence learning and researching activities. Also, digital library resources have minimized the dependency on print media sources and ensure continuity of access to the relevant information.
