Mind the Gap: Transactional Distance and Access to Human Support in Academic Libraries in Florida Sponsored By
|
Christine Woods will share the results of the study published in the Florida Libraries Journal and presented at the Florida Library Association Conference. The purpose of the research study was to determine the transactional distance of access to human support in academic libraries in Florida. Transactional distance is defined as the gap between the learner and the teacher in online classes. In other words, how far away does the learner feel from the teacher or the ability to get help. This definition was applied to how far away the learner feels from the library or the ability to get help. This study focused on the premise that transactional distance for students increases as the number of steps to reach the library and library support increases. - Participants will learn about transactional distance relating to supporting students in academic libraries. - Participants will learn about strategies or best practices to mitigate the gap in transactional distance in academic libraries. - Participants will learn about the importance of library websites and support services such as virtual reference to close the gap of transactional distance and the digital divide. |
