This study examined how collaborative efforts between libraries, academics, and other stakeholders may encourage library usage amongst distance learners in Ghana.

Quantitative data were gathered from 1170 distance learning students, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data from six librarians and six faculty members. The data were analyzed thematically and computed using the WordItOut online software to generate word clouds for analysis.
