ALCTS e-Forum: Continued Management of the Impact of COVID-19

June 9-10, 2020

Moderated by Alyse Jordan, Nicole Lewis, Steven Pryor, and Rebecca Uhl

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Over the past several months, COVID-19 has significantly impacted libraries
and library technical service units and departments, including requiring
staff to work remotely and determining what services they can provide. As
states begin to reopen, libraries face challenges as they determine how to
re-open and begin providing in-person services, while still providing a
safe environment for staff and patrons. In this special joint
ALCTS/LITA/LLAMA e-Forum. we will discuss any changes in how everyone is
coping, as well as providing an opportunity to discuss re-opening concerns
and challenges.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
