Distance education programs pose a new opportunity for faculty educators and librarians to form partnerships. While this is certainly not a new concept, it is one that needs to be refreshed and strengthened as distance education is developed on academic campuses.

Distance learners want to have equity of access to information sources and services. Access to quality distance library services empowers the learner; it qualitatively enhances the programme; it fosters client satisfaction; and, it increases product marketability.
