Libraries are seeing an increased emphasis on instruction, as indicated by analyses of job ads and surveys of library directors, but librarians responsible for instruction report lacking confidence in their abilities, and feeling underprepared to take on teaching roles. Through a review of courses offered at American Library Association–accredited institutions and a content analysis of syllabi, this study examines the extent to which library and information science programs are preparing new instruction librarians. The findings reveal the extent of opportunities available for students to learn about and practice instruction, and analyze the content outcomes, topics, and assignments of these courses.
