The Challenge of Providing a Library and Information Service to Distance Learning Students

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 March 2004

Extract

In this article I'll be covering the following:

[bull ] some widely held perceptions of distance learning

[bull ] how distance learning takes place within law at The Nottingham Trent University (NTU)

[bull ] the UK Libraries Plus national support scheme for distance learning students in the UK

[bull ] how I provide support for my distance learners

[bull ] the practical difficulties that distance learners face

[bull ] perceptions or misconceptions? – do my original perceptions still hold true?

[bull ] some ideas for the future

At this point, I should point out that I'm not promoting The Nottingham Trent University as a model of best practice, but just outlining our experiences. If anyone has any more sensible approaches or solutions to the issues I'll be covering then please let me know.
