The Socially-Distanced Academic Library: A Case Study Series of Best Practices During COVID-19

Sponsored by Taylor & Francis*

Posted on August 2, 2021 in Case Studies, Blog

Taylor & Francis presents a special series of case studies called “The Socially Distanced Library.” In this series, five academic libraries describe how they implemented radical service and policy adjustments to nimbly respond to changes in higher education either hastened or provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic. In each case study, librarians discuss their unique challenge, outline their solutions, and reveal the results of their efforts—while looking ahead at longer-term opportunities for permanent workflow changes in a post-COVID world.
