Off-campus access provides seamless and reliable access to licensed resources of libraries to multiple users, anywhere and anytime simultanously. Using a purposive sampling design, one hundred and forty-two postgraduate students were selected during information literacy training sessions to participate in this study. This study used a structured questionnaire as the data collection instrument. The study results revealed that the students are aware of the remote access facility. Many respondents were accessing the off-campus access facility from their homes and offices. Some recommendations were made to encourage the use of the remote access facility.
