This is a good article. I left a copy of it in paper at WidRef.

Abstract
Over the past several months, the proliferation of MOOCs (Massive Open
Online Courses) has been hailed as a potent defense against the rising
cost and insular culture of attending a traditional college. The
courses, which are generally taught by experts with affiliations to
elite universities, are characterized by their unique pedagogy and
unlimited enrollment. To date, no course has been accepted for transfer
credit at a major on-campus institution; however some administrators and
higher-education experts predict their gradual integration into
university curriculum. This article examines the MOOC phenomenon,
identifying aspects that academic librarians should consider in the
coming years, including how these courses interact with scholarly
resources and library services. Methods for integrating library services
in these courses are evaluated, with recommendations for the best
course of action.
