| 520 | |a This study measured current trends in distance education in the United States within Library and Information Science programs. The study was conducted, for the period 1989 to 1998, through a content analysis of journal articles from the "Library Literature" database, and through a content analysis of graduate catalogs from American Library Association (ALA) accredited library schools. Of 128 journal articles analyzed, 86% were non-research articles, with the main topic of discussion being distance education at a specific library program. The remaining 14% of the articles were dedicated to research, with 44% of that research pertaining to the study of distance education students. A significant finding was that slightly more than half (56%) of the 128 articles were published in the three-year period 1996 through 1998, with the Internet being the technology category most cited. The analysis of graduate catalogs found a definite increase in the use of distance education. In 1989, 16.67% of accredited library programs used distance education. By 1998, the number of accredited programs using distance education had increased to 75%. In 1989, no school offered the entire Master of Library Science through distance education. By 1998, 18.75% of schools offered the degree in that manner. In 1989, the dominant delivery system for distance education was an audio/video-based technology, with no use of the Internet. By 1998, 22.22% of the 36 accredited library programs offering distance education were using only an Internet-based technology to delivery classes, and 50% of those 36 programs were using both the Internet and audio/video technologies in combination. Appendixes include a list of ALA accredited library programs and coding sheets. (Contains 28 references.) (AEF) | ||
