>>INTRODUCTION
>>The current emphasis on widening access to education and developing a
culture of lifelong learning is inevitably fuelling the growth in distance
learning. Over recent years many library and information providers in both
further and higher education have faced the challenge of supporting
off-site users through innovative and flexible services.
>>
>>This seminar is aimed at library and information staff who are currently
developing or interested in developing off-site services in the future.
During the course of the day, speakers will present examples of current
practice in library support for distance learners and address issues such as:
>>
>>· Funding and costs related to off-site services
>>
>>· Copyright compliance
>>
>>· Remote access to electronic information resources
>>
>>· Developing library & information skills in off-site users
>>
>>There will be an Open Forum in the afternoon session that will provide
delegates with the opportunity to share experiences and discuss practical
solutions to some of the issues associated with this complex area of
information provision.
