I found Embedding online information resources in Virtual Learning Environments: some implications for lecturers and librarians of the move towards delivering teaching in the online environment by Margaret Markland. She researched how lecturers choose online material, deliver the links to their students and what issues the lecturers and students have had. She also focused on the use of librarians in the selection and dissemination process.
I found it interesting that some of the lecturers only thought of the librarian as a training source, helping with log ins, and so forth rather than a resource for finding the material. Probably because I would do the same.
On of the problems that I have dealt with is broken links, which was a problem mentioned by students and lecturers.

It wasn't until I had one of the University of Florida librarians in an online class who helped me work through pubmed (a great online source for medical journals that I use at work) that I realized how I don't utilize the librarians as a resource. I think with the rise of the internet for finding resources has become the norm rather than using resources such as the librarian or others who might know how to find more material that is better suited for what we are searching for.
