Distance Education Public Libraries Academic Libraries Educational Strategies Reference Services User Needs (Information) Barriers Electronic Libraries Outreach Programs Change Strategies Electronic Learning Access to Information Dealing with unaffiliated distance learning students can be a daunting task for many public as well as academic librarians. This article will discuss strategies for providing reference to these students by gathering information on what services they are offered via their home institutions, and helping them navigate the often confusing landscape of library resources and services.
