Abstract
Abstract The following study aimed to assess both instructor and student perceptions of virtual library instruction sessions. The primary question was are there perceived benefit of synchronous library instruction versus watching the recording of the same session. Two anonymous, mixed-method surveys were distributed: one to instructor and one to students. Results are consistent with similar research; both options are agreeable. Some form of library instruction is appreciated and useful for virtual classes be it synchronous or asynchronous. Interestingly, the direction for future research came from COVID-19 and the sudden prevalence of virtual courses and the use of whatever device students can access.

The Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning is the first journal to specifically address the issues and concerns of librarians and information specialists in the rapidly growing field of distance education. The issues surrounding the delivery of library services to this population are sufficiently unique so as to require the specialty supplied by this journal. The journal accepts original research, theoretical papers, substantive articles, essays, book and literature reviews, and research reports that cover programs and innovations throughout the international community.
