- A Foot in the Door: Experiments with Integrating Library Services into the Online Classroom Drumm, Michelle Havens, Barret C. Web Sites Electronic Publishing Community Colleges Distance Education Library Services Librarians Online Courses Computer Uses in Education Web Based Instruction Educational Technology The Houston Community College System (HCCS) is one of the largest community colleges in the nation, serving over 52,000 students. Though there is no dedicated full-time distance education (DE) librarian at HCCS, "traditional" librarians are meeting the needs of a rapidly growing population of DE and hybrid students by adapting to new roles and applying technology in innovative ways. An adventuresome cadre of information professionals has been reaching out to students to engage them where learning takes place. These "virtual librarians" are embedded in Web-based courses in order to promote library services to students who may never set foot in a HCCS campus library. As DE enrollment continues to expand, however, it has become necessary to consolidate efforts, and this is being accomplished through the utilization of a Web log (blog) and syndication tools, as well as some additional free applications.
