Abstract

Several members of the Education for Bibliographic Instruction Committee (ACRL Instruction Section) conducted a pilot project to investigate the perceived importance of library instruction skills to employers, and whether instruction experience or coursework is important in getting a job for which library instruction is a stated responsibility. Results of a telephone survey indicate that library instruction is viewed as an important service within academic libraries and that employers do consider skills or experience in the area of library instruction in the hiring process.
