Abstract The present research has applied survey-analytical methodology in order to assess the effect of libraries of the Islamic Sciences and Culture Academy on promoting users' information literacy skills. Statistical population were 440 users (having the foundation degree or higher) among the public and scientific libraries of the Research Institute and 205 users have been selected by means of simple random sampling. A questionnaire which has been designed according to reliable references has applied for collecting data. Among 205 distributed questionnaires, 174 questionnaires have been completed by the users. Findings show that while technologies and facilities existed in the libraries of the Research Institute have an important role in promoting users' information literacy skills, librarians have a medium influence. Instructions to the users provided by the librarians are in a low level. Current shortages in the libraries have created many obstacles for promoting users' information literacy skills. In general, the assessment of the surveyed factors shows that the libraries of the Research Institute have some favorable influence on promoting users' information literacy skills. Also among the surveyed factors, the current shortages in the libraries have the most influence on promoting users' information literacy skills. Finally, some suggestions have been presented to the libraries of the Research Institute of Islamic Sciences and Culture to improve the situation of effective factors on promoting users' information literacy skills.
