| contents | The Canadian Off-Campus Library Services Survey, 1985. Slade, Alexander L. Webb, Barbara Academic Libraries Distance Education Education Service Centers Foreign Countries Information Services Interlibrary Loans Library Role Library Services Library Surveys Needs Assessment Online Searching Postsecondary Education Questionnaires Telephone Communications Systems Universities This report provides a summary of a survey of 42 Canadian university libraries conducted in 1984 which identified 20 libraries that were involved in providing services for off-campus and distance education students. Thirteen categories were established to classify the components of a comprehensive library service for such students in Canada. Data from the 20 libraries, the three universities in British Columbia, and the Open Learning Institute were then entered on a survey form designed to record each institution's involvement in these 13 categories and the forms were returned to the respondents for verification. A summary table displays the results of the data analysis for each of the libraries and each of the categories: (1) availability of core collections; (2) specific requests; (3) reference queries; (4) special telephone lines; (5) advertisement of services; (6) a librarian responsible for such services; (7) support staff responsible for such services; (8) provision of bibliographic instruction; (9) online bibliographic services; (10) interlibrary loans; (11) charges for services; (12) assessment of course needs; and (13) evaluation of service effectiveness. Also included are two handouts, "Funding an Off-Campus Library Service" and "Arguments to Justify the Establishment of a Toll-free Telephone Service for Off-Campus Students"; the form which defines the 13 categories; and a 15-item selected bibliography.
