Description
In this day and age, academic instruction is increasingly moving online. Many college courses have some degree of online engagement through LMS systems and as such students expect learning material to be deliverable through online venues.
As a liaison librarian, it is not uncommon for questions to be fielded about how to access and/or how to provide access to materials such as books, articles, library tutorials, and reference assistance online and through university LMS systems. Issues that often involve collaboration between library departments, technical support and the university community of faculty and students.
This poster aims to look at some of the challenges that are faced in this endeavor, including issues of equity and accessibility as well as some of the methods that can be used to address those challenges.
