Inhaltsangabe

Lifelong learning is becoming reality throughout the world, requiring that learning opportunities and materials are delivered to citizens in their locality, at home or at work. Increasing numbers of students are undertaking distance education programmes and libraries are being called upon to find innovative ways to support distance learners. Developments in technology are creating new possibilities for document delivery and the distributed virtual library. This edition brings together the proceedings of the third Libraries Without Walls Conference of 1999, which addresses the key strategic issues based on international, regional and cross-sectoral approaches arising from the provision of library services to distant users. Papers submitted by professionals from the UK, Australia, Europe and North America include the following themes: lifelong learning; integrating services to provide the distributed virtual library; regional library provision through networking; social and human issues of distributed library services; supporting open and distance learning; cooperation between libraries of different types; standards issues; delivering library services to the home and workplace; and staff training in distributed libraries. This collection should help library managers and information professionals in all sectors to keep abreast of developments in this area. It should also be useful to educational specialists and course developers who wish to increase their understanding of the role and importance of information in the learning process.
