Distributed learning is becoming an increasingly common method
of further education in post-secondary institutions and programs
across Canada and internationally. Academic libraries are not
immune to this trend, and many are reviewing and revising their
teaching methodology. All learners require information literacy instruction
that is relevant, engaging, and embedded in curriculum;
in a distributed learning environment, however, the design and
delivery of that instruction may need to be adapted to respond to
the challenges of instruction to distributed learners. Through a literature
review of distributed learning models in academic libraries
and consultation with faculty and librarians at the University of
Saskatchewan, this research will assist in determining distributed
learning models and instructional design best suited for the provision
of information literacy instruction within this environment,
with a specific focus on reaching out to rural communities with
emerging technological infrastructure. / This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the Journal of Library and Information Services in Distance Learning, 2013, Tasha Maddison; Journal of Library of Information Services in Distance Learning is available online at http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/wlis20#.VJRmTwIYE.
