Abstract: The integration of e-resources in language learning and higher education is an essential development, yet it remains underutilised in the North-West Zone of Nigeria. This paper investigates the dynamics of French language acquisition alongside the adoption of open-access journals in university libraries within this region. It addresses the challenges hindering effective e-resource utilisation, such as limited awareness, insufficient technical skills, and financial constraints.Through a qualitative and comparative methodology that encompasses questionnaires and consultations, the study evaluates the role of e-libraries and virtual libraries, the advantages and varieties of open-access journals, and the barriers to employing e-resources. Specific issues identified include slow internet speeds, inadequate ICT infrastructure, multilingualism, and access to educational materials.Findings from the research emphasize that the use of e-resources greatly facilitates research, education, and industry needs. Insights from analogous studies in Nigeria underscore the significance of promoting e-resource usage in academic settings. The study concludes with essential recommendations towards improving the scenario – advocating for broader database subscriptions, enhanced user training, remote access provision, learning management system integration, and more extensive collaboration and open access initiatives. It calls for government support and infrastructure amelioration to make e-resources more accessible and effectively utilised in higher education. This research contributes to a better understanding of language acquisition dynamics and delineates ways in which open access resources can enrich educational experiences.
