Open Access Kent State (OAKS)

Most organizations had to establish a new way to work during the COVID-19 pandemic and Kent State University and Columbus Metropolitan Library were no exception to this. When the pandemic hit, and throughout the many waves of the virus in 2020 and early 2021, they had to reexamine the way they worked. In this session, you will hear from an academic and a public library to learn about how they adjusted to be productive, while prioritizing safety during the pandemic, and how these changes will affect their processes in the future. Presented session along with Cindy Lindsay and Nicole Sutton, Local History & Genealogy Librarians at Columbus Metropolitan Library.

Presented at Society of Ohio archivists, Annual Meeting, 2021
