Web-based Learning Environments:Do Libraries Matter?

Web-based learning environments are becoming more widely used foron-campus and distance education course delivery. A review of articleson the topic by faculty shows that only a few mention issues related tolibrary access or resource integration. Moreover, only a small number ofcourseware evaluations posted on academic Web sites include criteriarelated to libraries. However, a few articles and reviews share commonthemes that point to a greater library involvement in courseware imple-mentation, which is consistent with arguments made by distance edu-cation librarians calling for an active role in technical, pedagogical, andinstructional support decisions concerning Web-based learning environments
