Objective 1: Work with Distance Education committee in formalizing
procedures for the development of DE courses / online courses that
include the incorporation of library services as a staple of all
courses offered. |
Report was submitted to instructional deans and other administrators
about common DL practices in local well-established programs. Suggestions
were made for standardizing practices and training. Procedures
were established for identifying all new faculty and students teaching
or taking distance learning classes to send them information about
library services. Worked with Web Master to include the library’s
web page on all dl course pages.

On 11-11-04, the following e-mail was sent to faculty teaching
distance learning classes Fall 2004:
Dear WebCT Faculty Practitioner: I am trying to follow up
on the use of the Library’s redesigned web page. One point of interest
we would like to track is whether faculty members who teach WebCT
courses include a hyperlink to the Library’s Homepage on
their WebCT page(s).
A reply as follows would be most helpful:
- Yes, there is a link on my WebCT page (s).
- NO there is not a link on my WebCT page (s).
- When I revise my page(s) I will consider including a
link to the library’s homepage.
