This study investigated institutional factors and the use of open educational resources in selected university libraries in South-West, Nigeria. A descriptive survey was adopted for this study and a questionnaire was the instrument used in gathering the data. Total enumeration technique was used to capture all 247 librarians in the selected university libraries in South-West Nigeria. 247 copies of questionnaires were distributed and 201(81 4%) retrieved and analysed using frequency count, percentages, mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The study revealed that level of availability of ICT training for the use of OER is low, while the level of availability of infrastructure for the use of OER is moderately poor. Major challenges hindering the use of OER by librarians were inadequate funding, copyright issues, inadequate understanding of intellectual property rights licences in respect of
OER and inadequate ICT skill.The study concluded that institutional factors have significant relationship with the use of OER by librarians in Nigerian libraries. The study therefore recommended adequate infrastructure and policies for adoption and
