During the first half of 2020, academic libraries across the world have been addressing unprecedented challenges brought on by COVID-19. A large number of these libraries, due to national legislation or institutional decision, had to close their doors and offer virtual services. Academic libraries have been reinventing their services to meet the teaching, learning, and research needs.

Members of the IFLA Academic and Research Libraries Standing Committee (SC) will be sharing their institutional or national experiences during this COVID-19 period. These presentations, together with the anticipated rich discussion emanating from the participation by the audience, will be captured and shared. During this pandemic period, collaboration should be the norm.

This Zoom webinar will feature an international panel of speakers and is free and open to the public, so please share this invitation
