Building Virtual -- and Spatial -- Libraries for Distance Learning

Title:Building Virtual -- and Spatial -- Libraries for Distance Learning (ID: CEM9549)
Author(s):Richard J. Bazillion (Winona State University) and Connie L. Braun (Minnesota State College-Southeast Technical-Winona)
Topics:E-Learning
Origin:CAUSE/EFFECT (Archives) (1995)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:In this Viewpoint article, the authors discuss the role of academic libraries as active participants in the institution's teaching activities: they must be both custodians of locally-owned materials and gateways to an unlimited universe of information waiting to be converted into knowledge. The authors further state that library design should strive to create a seamless connection between the building itself and its link to the outside world, the Internet -- meeting the needs of a geographically dispersed clientele enrolled in distance education programs, teaching electronic research skills, and providing a place for students to create new documents from a variety of electronic sources.
