12/02/05 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.
