It delves into some of the novel conclusions drawn by its librarians about how the library has and will continue to contribute to the teaching and learning efforts of the campus community during and after the pandemic. Existing library services continued to be offered during the pandemic, albeit in modified capacities and in more digitally focused environments. Novel services were also created. At its core, the heart of the library is the human connections that librarians and library staff make with patrons, so choices were intentionally made to transform services in ways that still encouraged human connectedness and belonging within unprecedented circumstances. Specific topics include outreach and marketing; access services; reference and research services; information literacy instruction; grants; the role of physical and digital library materials in distance education; and faculty--student mentorship. The article also explores the novel conclusions drawn from the process of adaptation that will have far-reaching implications for the future of library services, as they contribute to the teaching and learning missions of campuses, once normalcy returns to higher education. Issues concerning the digital divide; equity of access; advocacy; and the implications of interactive, experiential learning are discussed. |
