Beyond the Extended Gampus Library: A Brief History of the Distance Learning Section, ACRL

摘要

Fourteen years after its establishment, the Distance Learning Section is one of the fastest growing sections in the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), a division of the American Library Association. Based on Section archives and secondary literature, this article traces the organization's development from its beginnings as a fledgling discussion group to a dynamic and fully functioning section within ACRL, while also highlighting activities and achievements, leadership and growth through the years.
