Abstract

This article describes the current distance education environment for university libraries and the distance education library services for faculty and students. The authors surveyed selected Association of Research Libraries (ARL) members to determine current services and the changes in distance education library services since the 1996 ARL SPEC Kit Survey. The 2003 survey included the library services listing from the "Guidelines for Distance Learning Library Services: A Draft Revision," prepared by the Distance Learning Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, ALA. (Contains 19 notes.)
