Learn how to provide better service to distance information users!
This book is the result of the conference held in May, 2004 in Scottsdale, Arizona, focusing on librarians' challenges providing service to nontraditional faculty and students. Respected authorities discuss in detail specific problemsand fresh strategies and solutionsto further promote service to distance information users. Each chapter tackles a particular issue such as collaboration outside the contributor's organization or how services can be monitored and assessed to gauge quality, and fully explains what can be done to address those issues.

Thorough bibliographies, useful figures, tables, and graphs provide accessibility and clarify ideas.
