Documents the history and growth of LIS distance education in 28 ALA-accredited programs.

This volume has grown from the collective effort of individuals from 28 American Library Association (ALA) accredited program schools to document the history and growth of distance education for the library and information science (LIS) professions. Their experiences, successes, unforeseen problems and solutions to those, provide practical information and a much-needed benchmark for those also attempting to create successful distance education opportunities within their programs.
