Abstract
This study is an evaluation of the design and implementation of a tape-slide presentation and self-help workbooks in a small college of further education library. It was undertaken in an attempt to overcome certain organizational problems and to improve, if possible, the educational effectiveness of the library tuition programme. Materials and methods were tested and evaluated in two formative stages before a final testing and summative evaluation. Results revealed a lack of a statistically significant difference between methods, making the inclusion of both methods educationally viable. Attitudinal responses were generally favourable and organizational advantages were without question.Keywords
