This study investigated the adoption and use of mobile phone technology for learning by Library and Information Science Postgraduate Students in University of Ibadan (UI) and the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED). A descriptive survey research design was adopted. Total enumeration of respondents was used to capture 222 respondents for the study. A validated, self- designed, and close-ended questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents.

Findings revealed a high level of mobile phone technology adoption among LIS postgraduate students. There is a high level of accessibility to mobile phone technology among LIS postgraduate students. It also reported high accessibility to mobile phone technology among LIS postgraduate students. The findings revealed further that most of the respondents agreed that they use mobile phone technology for their academic learning.
