摘要

摘要本研究旨在调查远程学习者对学术图书馆服务的使用情况和满意度。这是一个案例研究，采用调查方法征求了Kwame Nkrumah科技大学（KNUST）远程学习学生的意见。调查结果显示，图书馆服务的使用情况相当令人满意，尽管使用率较低；指示现有服务模型不适合远程学习者，因为它缺乏针对这类用户的支持服务。向图书馆管理部门提出建议，以确保远程学习者不会处于不利地位。

Change for a Better Paradigm: Assessing the Library Services for Distance Learners in an African Institution

Abstract The study aimed at investigating distance learners’ use of, and satisfaction with academic library services. It is a case study that employed a survey method to solicit the views of distance learning students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). Findings revealed a fairly satisfactory use of the library services albeit a low patronage of the services; an indication that the existing service model is not suitable for distance learners since it lacks support services targeted at this category of users. Recommendations are made to library management to ensure that distance learners are not disadvantaged.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning is the first journal to specifically address the issues and concerns of librarians and information specialists in the rapidly growing field of distance education. The issues surrounding the delivery of library services to this population are sufficiently unique so as to require the specialty supplied by this journal. The journal accepts original research, theoretical papers, substantive articles, essays, book and literature reviews, and research reports that cover programs and innovations throughout the international community.
