Online CampusToday’s adult learners often combine education with ongoing employment and family responsibilities. They need reliable, high-quality learning resources that are convenient—available anytime, from anywhere. The solution?
Online Tutorials (Bibliographic Instruction)
Online tutorials give students the coaching and guidance they need to use not only the resources of e-global library, but also the broader resources of their information universe. For example, e-global library offers tutorials on using libraries, using the Internet for research, doing business research on the Internet, and writing research papers (with special emphasis on properly using Internet-based resources). Unlike on-campus academic librarians, these tutorials are available to students 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can be accessed from the students’ homes, offices, or anywhere else the students have Internet connectivity.
Program
Resources (Research Assistance)
More than 125 topic-specific research guides introduce students
to each topic, explain research strategies, alternative
search terms, and Library of Congress subject headings,
and then identify and describe the best information resources
for that topic. Whereas in an on-campus library, students
generally consider only the tried and true, i.e., books
and print journals, with e-global library, students
are also encouraged to explore a broader range of information
resources by linking to appropriate and authoritative association
materials, online journals, government documents, research
institute reports, and Internet-based white papers, surveys,
statistics, and similar materials. The goal is not just
to provide the best resources on a given topic for a class
assignment, but also to expand the students’ understanding
and mastery of the broad range of information available
to them.
Online
Books (Core Collection of Books)
Although books may be less important in some cutting-edge
disciplines because of their lack of timeliness, we believe
they continue to be the best option for certain types of
information. In keeping with our commitment to offer library
services to students whenever and wherever they need them, e-global library contains a collection of more
than 21,000 online books, with more being added monthly.
Online books allow students to highlight, annotate, and
comment “in the margins” in the same way that print books
do, with the added benefit of accessibility. There are no
hours during which this collection will be “closed” to students
in the way an on-campus library can be. In addition, multiple
students can view and make notes in one book simultaneously;
which means all of the books are always available; no need
to worry about “due dates.”
General Reference (General Reference)
Occasionally, a student will need a dictionary, almanac,
encyclopedia, or biography to help them with their studies.
We have compiled more than 125 sources, organized into 15
categories, to help students locate just about anything
they would find in a library’s reference area.
Special Collections: Government Resources, Financial
Aid Resources, Career Development
Resources, Life and Leisure Resources
Links to an important and often-overlooked resource: government
documents. The library’s Government Resource collection
includes materials from more than 325 government sites that
provide access to more than 150,000 full-text documents,
including laws, regulations, statistics, technical reports,
technical specifications and standards, consumer guides,
business resources, and educational materials
