Glad you stopped by! I direct and teach in the Library Technical Assistant Program, and also coordinate library access services for both local and distance students. The Library Technical Assistant program has been a distance education program since 1977, when the program was offered to 62 state receiving sites through the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education Televised Instruction System. We are excited about the expansion of the program to the Internet!
