Abstract
Are services that were once believed to be exclusively available to the distance learning population now typically available for all users in a university community? This study will gather data from a sample of approximately 100 academic libraries randomly selected from the Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education. This is intended to be an unobtrusive study of websites to determine whether these libraries offer distinct library services such as delivery of materials, instruction, reference, web pages, online help or dedicated library personnel for off-campus users and whether there is any differentiation between services for the off-campus population versus on campus users.
