摘要：AbstractThis research studied the situation of information literacy instruction (IL) in Thai higher education in terms of the responsible units, teaching patterns, course details and content, teaching and learning methods, learning assessment and evaluation, and the role of libraries in promoting IL instruction in universities. The data was collected via questionnaire, sent to 108 university administrators for academic affairs during the academic years 2010-2011. The findings indicated that 70.93% of universities offer IL as a taught course in four similar names. Most of the contents are in accordance with the standards for IL set by ALA and SCONUL. The course topics include selection of information sources and resources, information accessing and searching, and academic report writing. The course instructions use active learning, problem-based, and inquiry-based approaches. All universities assess and evaluate the student's learning outcomes from attendance, participation, and examination. With respect to libraries’ roles, training in IL in various topics all through each academic year should be organized together with lectures on IL as a part of students’ orientation session.
