ACRL Guidelines for distance learning services
The access entitlement principle

• Every student, faculty member, administrator,
  staff member, or any other member of an
  institution of higher education, is entitled to
  the library services and resources of that
  institution, including direct communication with
  the appropriate library personnel, regardless of
  where enrolled or where located in affiliation
  with the institution. Academic libraries must,
  therefore, meet the information and research
  needs of all these constituents, wherever they
  may be.

It was incredibly helpful, I dont feel lost
using the virtual library anymore. Im definitely
glad to know all of the advantages of it now.
I really enjoyed this, thanks for making it
available this way. Furthering my education is
important especially when I can do it at home
with my family in my PJs.
Tri-c student feedback
I liked this a lot! It was cool and kind of
futuristic and fun!
Nice way to have students interact.
Having the session recorded was the only way for
my attendance, and it was very informative and
helpful. Technology is a bit overwhelming for me
and Ms. Connor made it easy to follow. Thank
you.

Msu student feedback
The overview of library resources was excellent
and I have already accessed some resources as a
result of the session.
Msu student feedback
I was impressed with how helpful this service
will be.

• I have not used the MSU library for any of my
  previous courses simply because the web-site
  looks so daunting. Most of my fears have been
  laid to rest. Thanks!

I love being able to see the computer screen in
the demonstration.
