In the face of decreasing enrollment and increasing information technology, future expansion of off-campus education programs is possible. A survey of 106 members of the North Central Association (NCA) of Colleges and Schools examined the library services considered essential to quality distance education and questioned the issue of accreditation as a means of enforcing compliance with standards of library service to off-campus education programs. The usable response rate was 46% (106/217). It was discovered that 72.6% of the respondents indicated that library administrators assessed the needs of their extended campus community for library resources, services and facilities, but few (10.6%) had a written profile of these needs. Of the libraries responding, 68.9% actively promote library services to the extended campus. In most institutions (68.9%), a librarian is not assigned the responsibilities of planning, coordinating, and evaluating library service to these extended sites. Currently, the responding libraries offer the following services to extended campuses: collection of library materials sent to off-campus site (55.2%); library staff assistance with non-print materials and equipment (65.7%); mail, telephone and electronic mail reference assistance (78.6%); database searches (67.3%); and interlibrary loan service (91.4%). The majority (72.0%) stated that funding is not related to the needs and demands of extended campus programs, and in 57.7% of the libraries, funding for these programs is not even identified in the library's budget.
