Library instruction is evolving to adapt to the changing concepts of information use and understanding. A model program in patron education, in order to be meaningful and effective, should respond to the changing information enviromentenvironment. Librarians are now adapting to the concept of information and communication technology literacy (ICT).<ref>Kenney, A.J. (2006). The final hurdle. ''School Library Journal,52''(3),63-64.</ref>

ICT extends information literacy to the use of computer technology in a variety of forms to manipulate, deliver, and receive information and ideas. This new definition is so vital to current educational practice that the Educational Testing Service has designed an instrument to measure and evaluate student aptitude for ICT.<ref>Tyler, L. (2005). ICT literacy: Equipping students to succeed in an information-rich, technology-based society. Retrieved from http:www.ets.org/Media/Tests/ICT_Literacy/pdf/ICT_Equipping_Students_to_Succeed.pdf</ref> A model library instruction program utilizes complementary tools and resources to deliver memorable, interactive instruction.
