- The Second Canadian Off-Campus Library Services Survey, 1988. Final Report. Slade, Alexander L. Academic Libraries Comparative Analysis Data Collection Distance Education Foreign Countries Higher Education Information Needs Library Role Library Services Library Surveys National Surveys Questionnaires This report involved a survey of 199 postsecondary institutions in Canada to determine how many universities and colleges provide some type of library support for their off-campus and distance-education students; and to tabulate and compare the types of library support provided by those institutions. The report contains narrative, a series of 21 tables, and eight graphs depicting the scope and details of the survey and survey results, including responses to 15 specific questions dealing with library services (core collections, specific requests, reference queries, special telephone line, advertisement of services, librarian, support staff, bibliographic instruction, automated literature search services, interlibrary loans, charges for service, needs assessments, evaluation, finances/funding, and curriculum development). A comparison is made between these responses and those gathered from a similar survey done in 1984 to determine whether the universities that responded to the earlier survey had altered their services in the intervening years. Also provided are descriptions of library outreach services and the off-campus library services index, which is designed to indicate the level of off-campus library support provided by the different institutions. A 10-page discussion of the outcomes of the survey generates the principal conclusion that the issue of library support for off-campus students is being taken seriously by the majority of Canadian universities and colleges, although to varying degrees.
