Goals of “Library on Demand” Supplement existing in-person, email, and telephonic (not

eliminate) library research instruction outreach to remote locations.

 Use multi-channel instructional technologies to optimize

outreach activities, reaching larger numbers of students, “on demand” when instruction is desired but library faculty resources are constrained by physical distance and budget limitations.

Use multi-channel communication and technologies to optimize student learning modality preferences and differences.
