The Half-Million-Square-Miles Campus: University of Alaska Fairbanks Off-Campus Library Services
Hahn, Suzan; Lehman, Lisa
Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, v2 n3 p5-24 2005
A database that tracked information requests from University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) distance students using the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library's Off-Campus Services (OCS) indicated that, beginning in 2001, students became more self-reliant searchers. Reasons for this trend included: increased number of licensed online resources from which to choose; improved Internet connectivity for remote Alaskan communities; increased familiarity with e-mail and online searching; increased options for delivering material; and ongoing user education via the OCS office. As both UAF on-campus and distance students become more reliant on the library's online resources, services to both groups have begun to overlap and have become similar. (Contains 5 figures and 38 notes.)
