This study investigates digital resource utilization at Makerere University Library in Uganda. The objectives were to identify digital resources utilized, examine how social influence and resource acquisition affect utilisation, determine awareness levels’ influence, and examine challenges faced. Using an explanatory research design with a quantitative approach, data were collected via questionnaires from 129 respondents (32 library staff and 97 users). Findings show varying awareness levels of digital resources, with electronic books and working papers having highest awareness and microfilms the lowest. Regression analysis indicated social influence, resource acquisition, and awareness levels had a significant, moderately positive relationship with digital resource utilisation. However, under utilisation was evident, with 64% of users rarely or never using digital resources, and 70% never logging into the library system. Challenges included limited publicity, inadequate ICT skills, infrastructural constraints, and administrative barriers. The study recommends implementing digital literacy training, awareness campaigns, infrastructure upgrades, clear policies, and user feedback assessments to enhance digital resource utilisation.
