It also helps veteran librarians add user-friendly features and solve common problems on their existing systems. Off-Campus Library Services explains the technology, addresses management issues, and offers usable suggestions for program development.

training issues for library staff

technical and information support
changing roles for librarians

library support for Web-based courses
library agreements and how to successfully negotiate them
