The ONYX Task Force is nearly complete with the first two phases of its work, the Statement of Support of Online and Extended Education, and the environmental scan and needs assessment. An important picture of the degrees, programs, and faculty engaged in online instruction is emerging through this process. The third phase, a sustainable and scalable model for library support of online and extended education, will be complete in March
2010. In a decentralized structure, ASU Libraries must focus on building relationships with program directors, instructional designers, and faculty in individual programs. Through communication, planning, agility, and negotiation for funding based on online student FTE, the library will extend it infiuence to online degree programs.
