This study addresses the position of university libraries in activating the distance
education system in higher education institutions. This is by reviewing the most
important educational services that our university libraries initiated during and after
the Corona pandemic, as the majority of universities were forced to adopt the
distance education system. This factor put those in charge of it before the challenge
of innovating ways and methods to perform its tasks and ensure its continuity within
the developments of the Corona virus crisis and the developments of the digital
environment and modern education systems. The study used the descriptive
approach in order to describe the studied phenomenon by returning to a number
of reliable traditional and digital sources, surveying a group of pioneering
experiences in adapting educational services, and analyzing the content of some
Algerian university library websites. The results of the study indicated that
university libraries played the role of business incubators to activate and support
the distance learning system environment, through the innovation of developed
services to support scientific, educational and research activities at the university.
This is done by harnessing all available technological means in order to provide
mechanisms to provide students, professors, and researchers with teaching and
learning resources, in line with educational curricula and distance learning
programs.
