COVID-19 as Opportunity: From Crisis Management to Future-Proofing the Library

Empowering Library Professionals during COVID19 - Session 3
COVID-19 as Opportunity: From Crisis Management to Future-Proofing the Library
COVID-19 took all libraries unawares. Across the globe, going ‘virtual’ overnight posed very significant challenges. Some were better equipped than others – but almost all found gaps in their preparedness. In early April, ProQuest started pulling together online a small, ad hoc group of librarians to discuss their experiences and share ideas; and, in expressing their frustrations as well as their positive experiences, to support one another. We would like to share some of the findings of these discussions with our customers in India region, and in particular to look at one common theme: how this global crisis might provide an opportunity to fast-forward into becoming the library of the future.
Event Agenda
06:00 PM India time: Welcoming and Introduction to the session
Librarian’s perspective - what's happening?
(Bob Nardini, VP Library Services, ProQuest)
