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.
