Although multimedia centers routinely coexist with community college libraries, media use in library instruction has been limited, a surprising fact in view of rapidly expanding enrollments. This study documents current practices in five Southern California community college libraries, and proposes and outlines a videotape for effective instruction in library skills. The proposed videotape has been produced by students at Saddleback College (California), providing both a high level of library learning for participants in the project and a flexible teaching aid now in use at the college. The study includes summaries of librarians' responses and sample forms for use with the videotape. (Author)
