- A Role for the Library in Public Research: The Global COVID-19 Dashboard Blake, Mara Murray, Reina Chano Williams, Jason Gara, Jeff Belros, Derek Choudhury, Sayeed Library Role Academic Libraries COVID-19 Pandemics Research Geographic Information Systems Library Services As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spread, a team from the Sheridan Libraries and Museums at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) provided technical support to the JHU Global COVID-19 Dashboard. This paper reflects on the lessons learned from working on a highly publicized, heavily trafficked resource and explores the role of academic libraries in supporting research in the public interest. The authors argue that engagement with projects of this nature not only leverages the existing strengths and expertise of libraries but also positions them to contribute to cutting-edge opportunities in academic institutions.
