Title: Applying perceptions of library instruction librarians and library directors towards the design of library instruction programs for transfer students

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine differences in perceptions of library directors and library instruction librarians from community colleges, 4-year colleges and university centers in the State University of New York towards teaching library research skills to transfer students. Strong agreement concerning library instruction as an integral component of the library's mission was found on the part of both librarians and library directors. A paradigm shift was also uncovered. The issue of questioning the role of librarians as teachers has shifted to issues of developing effective programs. Library professionals at different types of institutions are examining ways in which to work cooperatively to teach students research skills adaptable to various library environments.

Disparate approaches in instructional design and teaching methodology where found by type of institution. Instructional approaches created by applying perceptions analyzed are discussed in light of current fiscal shortages. Investigation into the degree library instruction plays a role in perpetuating or alleviating "transfer shock" needs to occur in light of trends in higher education.
