At the Online Library - George Lorenzo, Educational Pathways

In online higher education, as in traditional higher education, the library is the nexus between teaching and learning, providing a host of vital services to its patrons. The prototypical 21st century higher education library is a complex business. Technology is driving enormous change in the way students learn and faculty teach.

Today’s institutional libraries must also provide increasingly demanding services to a growing body of adult learners who are typically not so computer literate and Web-savvy.
