A distance education librarian becomes a distance education student

摘要

There are many benefits to being a distance education student while working as a distance education librarian. Through this experience, I feel I have gained a better understanding of the issues that distance education students' face and how the library can help them.After working for three years as a distance education librarian, I made the decision to get another master's degree and chose a program on the opposite coast from where I was living. While my program was a more practical one and did not require much library use, being a distance education student gave me a valuable perspective on the issues they face and how it impacts libraries and librarians.
