Therefore they are guidelines for an information literacy program at Ndejje University Library Kampala Branch. The objectives of the study are as follows.To establish the current status of the information literacy program at Ndejje University library. To find out how the information literacy program is managed at Ndejje University Library. To identify the challenges of conducting information literacy program at Ndejje university library. To design an information literacy program for Ndejje University library. The methods of Data collection during the study were Interviews and Observation. According to the findings that I got, the library is used by both the undergraduate and graduate students and therefore divided into two sections of the deferent programs. The challenges I discovered was that some library stuff failed to attend to me and were forwarding me to the other library stuff members which was quite disturbing on my side during the process of data collection within Ndejje University Library. On the side of students very few were willing to attend to my request as many of them rejected my request of attending to them. I recommend that the stuff within the library should freely attend to researchers when they are on their duty other than making one wait for a very long time for other stuff members. Although I faced a number of difficulties while collection the information within the library. I was successful and therefore collected the required information that I needed for the research within the library.
