Distance learning questions

[Clifford Urr]

     The Sept/Oct. 1997 issue of "Online" (vol. 21, no. 5) has an excellent 
     article called "Distnace Learning and the Information Professional," 
     which will likely help answer your questions and find other resources, 
     including web sites.

>I have two questions that are both related to distance learning.

>1.  Our library is preparing a request for a distance education liaison 
>librarian.  Would anyone have a position description that you could share?  
>We need to provide service to our own off-campus students as well as work 
>with students taking advanced degrees on our campus through other higher 
>education institutions.  We wonder what employment level this position 
>should have, what services this position will offer and what to expect in 
>general.
>
>2.  Our distance education committee needs to know if there are statistics 
>available showing the effectiveness of college classes taught on-line, web 
>based.  
>
>Thank you for any information you can offer.  If you respond to me 
>personally I will gladly summarize for the list.
