Where do libraries fit into that future of knowledge?

Where do libraries fit into that future of knowledge?

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.
