Academic Librarians' Practices and Perceptions on Web-Based Instruction: Academic Library Patrons as Adult Learners

Abstract

Academic librarians are encouraged to provide information and library services, resources, and instruction to all patrons, including adult learners. Statistics reported worldwide indicate that adults are a growing student population in colleges and universities; however, the adult learner as an academic library patron is often neglected. This paper explores how academic libraries establish value due to stakeholders and support the information needs of adult learners through an active commitment to the process of web-based information literacy instruction that includes outcomes assessments.
