Evaluating Library-Use Instruction

Abstract

Evaluating Library-Use InstructionAlthough 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
