The study used a sample of 100 respondents randomly selected from the four public universities. A combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches was used in studying a phenomenon. Data were collected using documentary review, interview guides, observation and questionnaires. Quantitative data from the questionnaires were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while qualitative data from interview guides and observation were analysed descriptively using a content analysis procedure. It was found that the most common barriers to internet resources in lesson preparations are related to poor internet connectivity, poor bandwidth, inadequate ICT facilities, outdated computer hardware and software, meagre budget allocations, inadequate library user education and bad experience in using internet resources. It is therefore recommended that the management of the four surveyed universities address the said barriers so as to improve the usage of e-resources in lesson preparations. This may be done by providing and improving ICT facilities, allocating adequate budget for e-resources, and conducting staff and user training.
