<p><em>This study examined how information literacy skills influence the ability of postgraduate students across selected universities in Ekiti-State, Nigeria, to detect fake news. In the light of the increasing spread of misinformation online, the study assessed how postgraduate students engage with digital literacy. The study adopted a survey research design, collecting data from 363 postgraduate students through structured questionnaires which were analyzed using frequency counts, percentage, mean scores, and inferential statistical techniques. Findings revealed a high level of fake news detection among the respondents, indicating their competence in identifying misleading or false information across digital. Postgraduate Students demonstrated strong ability to cross-check sources, use fact-checking tools, apply critical thinking, and recognize the societal impact of fake news. The study revealed there is a significant positive relationship between information literacy and fake news detection literacy (r = 0.399**, P &lt; 0.05) digital literacy digital skills (r = 0.149**, P &lt; 0.05), the study also revealed a significant positive relationship between digital skills and fake news detection, thereby indicating that information literacy and digital skills enhances the ability to identify misinformation. The study concludes that information literacy, digital skills and fake news detection recommends embedding structured media programs into postgraduate curricula.</em></p>

<p><em>This study investigated ethical behavior and use of online information resources (OIR) among undergraduates of University of Ibadan and Lead City University, Nigeria. Descriptive correlational survey research design was employed. The population of the study was 18,464 undergraduates, from which a sample of 292 students was taken using a two-stage random sampling technique representing four percent of undergraduates randomly selected from each faculty in both universities. Data were collected using questionnaire. The data collected were analysed using descriptive (frequency, percentage and mean) and inferential (Pearson Product Moment Correlation) statistics. The findings revealed that OIR were highly used for both academic and non-academic purposes among undergraduates, with Google (x? = 3.72), and online journals (x? = 3.56) ranking highest. High ethical practices among the undergraduates include providing proper credit to the original authors (x? = 3.55), respecting copyright policies (x? = 3.47), and verifying correctness of information (x? = 3.24). Ethical behavior was positively correlated with the employment of OIR. Top challenges highlighted are expensive internet services and inadequate infrastructure. Universities are encouraged to provide relevant trainings on digital research ethics to facilitate effective utilisation of OIR.</em></p>
