From podcasts to online courses, new opportunities for delivering instruction abound, enabling learners to access content more conveniently than ever before. Whether for traditional instruction, continuing education, or self-directed lifelong learning, librarians can reach audiences who would not typically show up for face-to-face sessions. This course provides an overview of popular distance education techniques with many examples of how librarians are employing them.

Note: There is a web-based portion of this course to follow the MLA '08 meeting. Participants will receive 8 MLA CE contact hours, representing their online and live course work.
