Abstract
Adult online learners have unique information and technology needs which are best met by libraries and library professionals. Combining the concept of andragogy along with best practices for the library profession significantly assists librarians in providing meaningful learning opportunities. Effective library support for adults in online learning experiences incorporates the concepts of learning style theories, thinking style theories, and library anxiety research. Best practices in information literacy and technology literacy assist librarians in supporting the broad needs of adult online learners.
