  abstract = {This study examined predictors of web search effectiveness among LIS undergraduate students at the University
of Ilorin, Nigeria. A total enumerative sample technique was used to select the entire 115 students of the department of Library
and Information Science. Through a survey approach, questionnaire was developed and used for the collection of data.
Three research questions were developed to guide the study. The results demonstrate that factors such as internet and
computer self-efficacy, emotional intelligence and participation in the online discussion forum significantly correlate with
and predict web search effectiveness. Based on the findings, the study recommends that, LIS students should be more internet
and computer self-efficacious so that their web search activities will always be effective. It was also suggested that students
should engage themselves in self-efficacy training. Moreover, it was recommended that students should enrol for computer
training. The experience is assumed will go a long way assisting the students thereby enhance and facilitate their search
activities.},
