Information Science Library information networks Malaysia The emergence of the Internet and WWW has affected all functions of an academic library, particularly library instruction.

This study examined the used of the web-based library instruction in Malaysian academic libraries. The objective of the study was to examine the current practices of delivering library instruction in academic libraries. The findings have presented the overview on the planning, delivery and content of library instruction programmes in academic libraries. The study aimed to evaluate the general design, interactivity, presentation mode, tutorial structure, graphical interface and the technical performance of the academic library websites. The study further examined the issues relating to web-based library instruction and the strengths and weaknesses presented on library instruction programmes.
