Where we were…
Distance learning is changing things for college librarians
“Library services are now operating within a user-centered and self-learning world.” (Han)
“User behavior is shifting from a passive learning pattern to an active one in which customers want simple, helpful self service and personal help only at times of greatest need.” (Han)
Libraries are expected to provide the same level of services and resources for off-campus and distance learning students as for traditional onsite students.
Growth in the number of distance learning classes offered and the number of students taking advantage of DL options is expected to sky-rocket in the next ten to twenty years. (Gandhi)
The lack of face-to-face contact with patrons requires new skills, strategies, roles and responsibilities for librarians.

“The libraries have to take the research paradigm beyond the one-shot classes (while not discarding them, mind you) and actively involve the undergraduate, graduate, faculty, staff and community member. Borrow a page from the public library and have classes just for non-campus members, pop-up BI ads on the OPAC, posted signs on the walls and near the computers, hand out slingers as students check out books, take out advertisements in the student papers, mail handouts to student advisors. The list is endless, but so are the needs.”

“Academic librarians today stand at an interesting threshold with immense possibilities. They have a critical and vital role to play in providing library services to distance learners and ensuring that they receive the same quality of education as on-campus students” (Gandhi)
