  ABSTRACT: The study assessed the utilization of the University of the Gambia Main Library by various schools of the university. The schools that mostly utilize the library and the average time spent were examined. The data was generated from the Main Library database. The database was appropriate for this study as a useful method for assessing the schools that utilize the library most and the average time spent by students from April to September 2021. From the findings of the study, it was concluded that the School of Business and Public Administration utilized the library most. This is because the library is located in the School’s campus. The study also revealed that many students principally used the library as a place to prepare for examinations and to do their assignments. Even though the Internet provides valuable intellectual resources for learners, the study shows that there has not been a drastic reduction in the use of academic libraries by students.
