摘要：Many studies proved that WebOPAC training during library orientation programs contributes most to individual’s information literacy skills development. The irony is that there is no standard measurement on this WebOPAC training which measures the scores of information literacy skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a scale to measure the information literacy skills for WebOPAC training. This scale is based on standard one, standard two, standard three and standard five of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) information literacy competency standards which is expected to assist institutions in identifying library users’ ability to locate, evaluate, and use information effectively when it is needed. Information literacy competency standards of the instrument were tested with a group of thirty (30) first year degree students. Exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha internal reliability coefficient were used to measure reliability and validity of the scale. Finally, a valid and reliable 28-item WebOPAC training information literacy scale was developed which could be a guideline to future information professionals, librarians, and researchers in measuring individual’s information literacy skills during WebOPAC teaching and learning sessions.
