Library on Demand Linda Gordon Darryl Swarm Kitt Vincent October 17, 2011 Internet Librarian, 2011 – D104, iLibrarian: Virtual, ipads & Mobile Devices
Goals of “Library on Demand” • Supplement existing in-person, email, and telephonic (not eliminate) library research instruction outreach to remote locations. • Use multi-channel instructional technologies to optimize outreach activities, reaching larger numbers of students, “on demand” when instruction is desired but library faculty resources are constrained by physical distance and budget limitations. • Use multi-channel communication and technologies to optimize student learning modality preferences and differences.
