ESL and Online Learning Annotated Bibliography of Distance Education and ESL Learners This project was first proposed at the DLS Instruction Committee meeting at the 2010 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. At the committee’s ALA Midwinter virtual meeting on December 7, 2010, the committee members Mona Anne Niedbala and Andrew Lee volunteered to work on this project, starting with the creation of an annotated bibliography. Andrew Lee (co-chair of the committee then) would be the contact person if anyone else in the committee wanted to join the project. In the spring of 2011, Mona and Andrew did a preliminary literature search on articles about issues related to English as a Second Language (ESL) students in the distance-learning environment. ERIC, Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts (LLBA), WilsonWeb Education Full Text, and Library/Information Science & Technology Abstracts with Full Text (EBSCOHost) databases were searched, and eight articles were selected to be included in an annotated bibliography. It was decided that more articles would be added as future literature searches were completed. After 2011 ALA summer conference, Mona left the committee. In the spring of 2012, two more committee members, Carrie Bertling Disclafani and Robert Morrison, joined Andrew to update the preliminary bibliography. ERIC, JSTOR ASC, Sage Teacher Reference Center, Communication & Mass Media Library, Information Science & Technology, and Linguistics & Language Behavior databases were searched and 14 additional articles were selected for the bibliography.
