Concurrent 2: Applying the Revised Standards for Distance Learning Library Services at Your Institution. Workshop. Part 1
Session Format
In-person Workshop
Proposal Synopsis
A revision to the 2016 Standards for Distance Library Services (Standards) is currently underway with possible approval at the next ACRL Board meeting. This workshop will delve into the proposed 2022 Standards exploring how to apply them. One facilitator is a member of the current Standards revision committee and will offer their expertise regarding the changes taken by the DOLS Standards Committee in the new draft. Other facilitators include a library director at an over 90% distance learner institution to another institution whose online learners mostly come from in-state and even drop by in person to pick up books, and a director of distance and online library services at a traditional residential campus where services to the worldwide online-only student population is rapidly growing. Facilitators will offer how they plan to utilize the revised Standards in their particular roles at their institutions and with library stakeholders.
In this workshop, participants will delve into the newly revised draft Standards definitions and suggested benchmarks. Participants will have the opportunity to map out their library's existing services to the newly revised Standards. Through group discussion and sharing, participants will become familiar with a variety of approaches to meeting the Standards.
