Abstract	This report provides a summary of a survey of 42 Canadian university libraries conducted in 1984 which identified 20 libraries that were involved in providing services for off-campus and distance education students. Thirteen categories were established to classify the components of a comprehensive library service for such students in Canada. Data from the 20 libraries, the three universities in British Columbia, and the Open Learning Institute were then entered on a survey form designed to record each institution's involvement in these 13 categories and the forms were returned to the respondents for verification. A summary table displays the results of the data analysis for each of the libraries and each of the categories: (1) availability of core collections; (2) specific requests; (3) reference queries; (4) special telephone lines; (5) advertisement of services; (6) a librarian responsible for such services; (7) support staff responsible for such services; (8) provision of bibliographic instruction; (9) online bibliographic services; (10) interlibrary loans; (11) charges for services; (12) assessment of course needs; and (13) evaluation of service effectiveness. Also included are two handouts, "Funding an Off-Campus Library Service" and "Arguments to Justify the Establishment of a Toll-free Telephone Service for Off-Campus Students"; the form which defines the 13 categories; and a 15-item selected bibliography.
