Resources for Library Services for Distance Learners
LIS5937-322
Fall, 2003
Ilene Frank, InstructorThe source for these links is a combination of the "Course Documents" area in Blackboard, items mentioned in the discussion postings in the course, the Goodson text and items that I discovered as I wrote my journal or searched to expand the topics. It doesn't capture everything (impossible!) but comes fairly close in linking the course content to online resources. The ogranization of the links (headings) roughly parallels the topics presented in "Course Documents". It is hoped that having this list will be a handy reference after the doors to the course close and we continue to endeavor to focus on library services to distance education students. Onward... online!
