 This study investigated ICT skills and information literacy skills as variables predicting OPAC usage among law undergraduates studying in Nigeria. A research design involving a survey was adopted, incorporating a quantitative approach using a sample of 286 law undergraduates derived from a two-stage sampling procedure. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple linear regression were the inferential statistics used in the analysis of the study’s data. The results of the study demonstrated that of the independent variables, ICT skills were the best predictor of OPAC usage (independent variable). Furthermore, only two indicators of ICT skills —namely, the ability to process information and collaborate —had a significant individual influence on OPAC usage. The study recommends that higher institutions could enhance the ICT skills training of law undergraduates through intentional programs, while incorporating practical activities that will improve information literacy skills.
