EKU VITAL STATISTICS
• Enrollment of 16,015 as of the 2015 spring semester
• Approximately 1,500 of those students are enrolled at regional satellite campuses
• Just under 2,000 of enrolled students are pursuing degrees that are being offered fully online, and are not just taking individual online courses
• Only five years ago that number was a fraction of that 2000

ADVICE FOR THE FUTURE
• Include distance education in all strategic planning and assessment. Make it part of day to day library planning
• Get away from the monolithic “Distance Education Office” model and adapt a distributed service model adapted to the needs of the institution
• Have a group or individual tasked with thinking about distance learning
• Remember, a student is a student is a student
• Be flexible and forward leaning
• Look for free or cheap tools and resources

FORECASTING THE FUTURE… • Demands for seamless
and instant service and delivery
• More back end work for libraries, increased demand for easy use by students
• More blurring of lines • Need to be ready as
admins ask us to step up
• Budgets shrink, expectations rise
