Library instruction is a core activity of the academic libraries that entails educating, enlightening, guiding and helping the library users to identify, understand and utilize library information resources effectively. A survey research design was adopted for the study. The population consists of seven hundred and seventy-three 100 level students who registered for Use of Library (GSE 112) course in the first semester of 2015/2016 academic session. The questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Using a consensus sampling technique, all the 773 students participated in the study during a seminar organized for the 100 level students at the end of the second semester by August 2016. All the questionnaires were retrieved while 643 were found usable representing 83 percent. The finding showed that classroom teaching, library orientation and library guide (X = 3.00, SD = 000) were the methods mostly used while guided library tour (X = 2.53, SD = 667), library and one-on-one mentoring (X = 2.48, SD = 716) were also used to instruct the library users. It also reveal that Ask a librarian, FAQ, library Blog, library Website, Text messaging were not used to instruct the users. The finding also shows that library instruction was effective for identification of books on the shelves (X = 3.78, SD = 416), access and retrieval of information materials in the library (X = 3.67, SD = 471), enable students to cite and reference books with ease (X = 3.11, SD = 874) and turned users into regular library users (X = 3.45, SD = 497). It however, shows that library instruction has no effect on students’ academic excellence (X = 3.44, SD = 687). The findings however reveal some of the challenges facing library instruction including non-expository of the program (X = 2.78, SD = 785), inadequate time for library orientation (X = 3.00, SD = 815), non-utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) for library instruction (X = 2.78, SD = 787) and students’ lack of interest in library instruction programs (X = 3.56, SD = 684). The study, therefore, concluded that library instruction is an effective means of educating users and creating awareness of available information resources in the library. Librarians should ensure that library instruction impact students’ academic excellence while viable methods of engaging and instructing the users in making them effective users and life-long learners be encouraged and explored.

Although library-use instruction programs have become popular during the 1970s, they are often not given the same type of support by library and college or university administrators as the more traditional library services. The paper contends that appropriate evaluation is an important element in gaining this support and describes the development and results of a systematic assessment of library-use instruction at DePauw University. All social institutions or subsystems, whether medical, educational, religious, economic, or political, are required to provide "proof' of their legitimacy and effectiveness in order to justify society's continued support. 1

Relatively diminishing financial resources and increasing user expectations are combining to create a new emphasis for the traditional research library. This paper reports on the development of a pilot project at a large research library that explored the relationship between evaluation and assessment to determine how both the institution and the user can benefit. Following a background of needs of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library, the survey methodology for determining user needs is outlined. The survey was divided into three distinct areas. In the first part of the survey, users were asked to identify their relationship with the library. The second part contained assessment questions which attempted to ascertain users' information literacy and general search skills. Finally, questions specific to the University's system were asked. The results of the Task Force on the Future of the Library and a changed university budgetary process brought about the recommendation to develop/fund a Instruction Coordinator position and include support staff with a real budget for the implementation of a library-wide program.
