In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, distance learning is transforming the role of college librarians. This presentation by Cheryl Stewart at the ACRL/Greater New York Metropolitan Area Chapter Symposium highlights the shift toward user-centered services, where librarians must adapt to meet the needs of both on-campus and distance learning students. As digital resources and online services become paramount, it is essential for libraries to develop new skills, strategies, and roles to ensure equitable access to information and support for all learners.

Connecting with the Net Generation: Access and Environment Beyond Technology: Library Services and Resources for Distance Learning Cheryl Stewart, Presenter ACRL/Greater New York Metropolitan Area Chapter Annual Symposium Baruch College Conference Center December 2, 2005
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.
