ONYX created a database that lists demographic information for each peer institution and the results of telephone and email interviews of distance education library faculty. Interview participants answered the following questions: (1) Describe your distance education program; (2) How do you promote your online services (3) Is there a library fee for online students If so, how much and (4) Do you perceive/foresee expansion issues ONYX is currently analyzing the best practices at these institutions and will use the
information to make recommendations about developing library policies for online and extended education. The database is slated for completion in December 2009.
