Framework for e-Library Services to Support the e-Learning Environment in a Secondary School

Abstract

This paper proposes an ICT-based framework that incorporates e-library services into the e-learning environment. There has been wide recognition that the integration of elibrary services within e-learning environments is lacking. The literature suggests that there is no formal collaboration between teachers, students and librarians in the course of the proposing, acquiring and utilising of e-library resources. The proposed framework defines different scenarios, roles and learning cycles that support different interactions within the e-learning process. The system is expected to provide greater opportunities to fulfil students’ needs with less time and effort.
