Improving Internet Reference Services to Distance Learners encourages librarians to think more broadly about working with outside individuals when designing and providing reference and other services to nontraditional users. The book examines why it's best to consider user needs, funding, staff management, and collaboration development when planning Internet reference services, how to develop and implement a required, credit-bearing online information literacy course, and how to apply effective marketing techniques from the business world to increase awareness of reference support services available to distance learners. It also offers a look at the Walden University Library at Indiana University-Bloomington, which houses no print collectiononly online databasesand includes case studies that document the design and development of Internet reference services for the University of Illinois' Fire Service Institute, and the efforts to provide support for doctor of pharmacy students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in their final year of study.
Improving Internet Reference Services to Distance Learners provides practical information on:
monitoring online discussion threads devoted to library research
Web-based interactive tutorials
integrating library services in support of coursework
integrating library services into online courses
offering, promoting, and providing instruction to public users, as well as local and distance students
developing a web site that centralizes information about library services and resources
the potential of the academic library to be the central provider of information and referral services for an entire university
Improving Internet Reference Services to Distance Learners is an invaluable resource for librarians working in academic, school, special, and public settings, and for library science faculty and students.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
