Library Journal Review
Editor Mahoney (off-campus librarian, Central Michigan Univ. [CMU]) pulls together the 44 contributed papers of the Tenth Off-Campus Library Services Conference held in Cincinnati in April 2002, the must-attend biennial meeting for distance learning librarians. Mahoney's experience at CMU has provided him with the grist and resources for compiling this helpful repackaged collection, which was originally published as the Conference Proceedings and simultaneously issued as Journal of Library Administration (Vol. 37, Nos.1/2 and 3/4, 2002). For those who were unable to attend the conference but who work in distributed, branch, or electronic academic libraries, or interact with faculty teaching remotely or electronically, this invaluable resource covers a wide range of distance learning issues, including how to develop and promote library services for distance learners, how to establish a partnership with faculty to improve these services to students, and more. This volume is highly recommended for librarians and administrators at academic institutions with distance learning programs as it will provide them with awareness of the best practices and innovative methods to meet the needs of distance learners and faculty.-Beth Stahr, Sims Memorial Lib., Southeastern Louisiana Univ., Hammond (c) Copyright 2010.
