In this online course, the areas of competence and the teaching method adopted draw from the precepts of visual literacy. Gamification is the approach adopted to encourage student participation in and engagement with the learning process. The findings corroborate the effectiveness and replicability of this educational toolkit and identify online library services as essential partners. The collaboration of such services is ideal for implementing the proposal for online university training. One line of action suggested in this regard is to use academic skills centers (ASC) to link library resources to non-formal digital skills training in pursuit of academic excellence.","PeriodicalId":35370,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library and Information Services in Distance Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44602160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I hope the articles we have for you in this issue will be of interest. In our lead article, “Student and Instructor Perceptions of Virtual Library Instruction Sessions,” Jessica L. Bennett discusses a study she undertook to determine if instructors and students had opinions about virtual library instruction and if there were any preferences to synchronous over watching recorded sessions. Migule-Angle Marzal and Sara Martinez Cardama provide details on their proposal for an online, skills-based training course. In their article, “Gamification as a Strategy for Visual Literacy Skills-Based Education: A Proposal for Educational Libraries,”Marzal and Cardama suggest using a gamification approach in a collaborative setting to encourage and engage the students in the learning process. In our next article, “Training Strategies for Library Staff and Remote Clients in Academic Libraries Operating in a Distance Education Environment During COVID-19,” Tinyiko Vivian Dube discusses research into training strategies for those working in academic libraries in South Africa. Dube relates how if library staff are trained, they can provide better service to the distance education population. Christian Mubofu and Andrew Malekani detail how the distance learners at the Open University of Tanzania feel about the accessibility of their library’s resources and services. Their article, “Accessibility of Library Resources and Support Services by Distance Learners,” discusses the results of a study they preformed along with recommendations for improvements. We conclude this issue with an article by Kate-Riin Kont and Siret Piirsalu, “Library Services in Spring 2020: Feedback Survey in Tallinn Health Care College.” In their study, Kont and Piirsalu investigated which services were used the most and which services their users would be needing due to the lockdown caused by COVID-19.

Using a one-credit course that teaches effective research skills, this study examines whether two-year college students follow the same pattern as four-year students, accessing course materials they deem necessary to earn a good grade. The authors hypothesize that the frequency of accessing course content is greater at a community college because students depend on resources that provide both direct and indirect support in order to complete an online course.","PeriodicalId":35370,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library and Information Services in Distance Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1533290X.2021.1938786","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46787773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an effort to maintain the personalized human touch and interactions that occur between librarians, students, and faculty, the constructs of teaching presence were embedded into online informational literacy sessions at a small private institution in the Northeast region of the United States. This article explores the integration of teaching presence to humanize virtual library instruction.

OPAC is known as a platform used by library clients to check the availability of information resources from the entire library collection. ODeL libraries also use the OPAC, not as a library catalogue, but as a portal for requesting information resources. The processes presented in this articles starts from when the library clients request information resources when the requests reach the library/library staff, how the online requests are handled when received, how they are sent to the requesters, how the information resources are sent back to the library after use by the requesters and the process of receiving the returned information resources.","PeriodicalId":35370,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Library and Information Services in Distance Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1533290X.2021.1880526","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42694401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
