• W104758897 abstract "Introduction Library instruction can be traced back to the 1800s in American academic institutions and back to the 1600s in Germany. (Salony,1995). This was corroborated by Tiefel (1995), when he stated that the earliest evidence of library instruction was found at Harvard College in the 1820s and that most early academic librarians were professors with part-time library appointments. These professors taught the use of libraries for academic purposes in institutions such as Harvard, Indiana University, and Columbia. (Tiefel, 1995:318). The expressed enthusiasm gave vent to the establishment of an ad hoc Committee on Bibliographic Instruction by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) in 1971. The Committee published the first bibliographic instruction guidelines (Donnelly,2003) ACRL also established instruction standards which required college libraries to provide information and instruction such as reference and bibliographic services, course-related and course-integrated instruction and hands-on active learning orientation to users, (Donnelly, 2003). User education has been variously defined. Fleming, (1990), described it as various programmes of instruction, education and exploration provided by libraries to users to enable them make more effective, efficient and independent use of information sources and services to which these libraries provide access. Tiefel (1995), broadly defined library education as library instruction which teaches users how to make the most effective use of the library system. Wisconsin Library Association (2010) states that user education is also known as library orientation, bibliographic instruction, training library instruction and information literacy The author defines education as various programmes applied by librarians to make users become effectively knowledgeable in the use of library resources so as to inculcate lifelong learning. Robertson (1992) says that since the 1970s library education has been increasingly recognized as an integral part of a student's academic career.. Importance of education cannot be over-emphasized as it is believed that improving users' knowledge of their libraries' collection and services could be a motivating factor for more usage and more demands on the library. The statement is corroborated by Nithyanandam et al (2006). They stress that it improves the image of the library and if combined with training, could be the best way to implement Ranganathan's five laws of library science. Need for User Education. With the rapid development of ICTs, accessing and retrieval of information from libraries are becoming complex. Inability to find necessary information delays research or decisions. Lack of awareness of information leads to duplication of effort. It therefore behooves on librarians to educate library users (students) on how to locate needed resources bearing in mind that they come from different cultural backgrounds and they have varying levels of library skills. Information generation is growing exponentially and information is packaged in various formats. (Edem, Ani, and. Ocheibi, 2009: The Free Library, 2010 and Nithyanandam et al: 2006) It therefore becomes imperative that users should be taught how to evaluate information. Referencing, citation and compilation of bibliographies are competencies which must also be imparted to students by librarians, if the students are expected to produce quality research materials and continue with life-long learning/education. User education improves visibility and status of academic librarians and libraries. Objectives of Library User Education Every university library prides itself of the usability of its resources and to ensure that these resources are effectively utilized calls for library education. To remain focused, there is the need to state objectives of the instruction. In this connection, Tiefel (1995) stated that objectives of library instruction were established as early as 1881 when they were used for clarification of instructional goals at the American Library Association Conference. …" @default.
