Commentary: Libraries and online learning are an overdue pairing - Hanwen Dong, University of Idaho Library

But what does online learning have to do with libraries? The University of Idaho Library also offers a variety of services to support online learning. We provide stable Wi-Fi and rooms and study spaces equipped with videoconferencing technology for online collaborative work in the library building. Librarians also teach workshops on various topics for professional development and continuing education every semester in both online and in-person formats, and resources from past library workshops are readily available on the library’s website. Finally, besides calling, texting, and emailing us, anyone (yes, anyone) can use our online chat service through our website to get assistance 24/7. All these resources and services are just a few examples of how we support online learning.
