A case study of Ibrahim Babangida Library website, Modibbo Adama University, Yola. Data were collected by visiting the library websites through their University homepage. The study revealed that even though Nigerian academic libraries have made their presence online by deploying a library website, many of them do not use their library websites to provide their patrons with contact and general information on the services they provide and facilitate access to their resources. The study recommends the redesign of the library websites to make them more effective in order to contain all that is available in the library without necessarily visiting the library
