Abstract: “Interplay of information literacy, library engagement and academic performance among state university students†unpublished master’s thesis, Liceo de Cagayan University, Cagayan de Oro City, December 2023. This descriptive-correlational study assessed the information literacy skills and library engagement of all the students enrolled in the first semester of academic year 2022-2023 in a satellite campus of a state university in Alubijid, Misamis Oriental. The study further determined if the students’ information literacy and library engagement are significantly associated with their academic performance measured in terms of their grade point average for the semester. To answer the research questions, the study used survey questionnaires, which were content validated and tested for reliability. The generated data were statistically processed to facilitate data analysis and interpretation. Findings revealed that the students generally had very high level of information literacy, had high level of library engagement, and had good academic performance. The test of relationships revealed that there was no significant relationship between the students’ information literacy and academic performance. However, singly, information evaluation as a dimension of information literacy was significantly correlated with academic performance; although, the degree of the relationship was weak. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between the students’ library engagement across all dimensions and their academic performance. Therefore, the students’ academic performance cannot be attributed to their level of information literacy and library engagement. However, the importance of information literacy and library engagement in promoting academic success among students cannot be dismissed considering the bulk of literature and studies that found those factors as predictors of students’ academic performance and considering the limitation of this study.
