Presenting at the following sessions
October 29, 2020
3:00pm
Join library directors from across the country to hear about lessons learned during the pandemic and discuss the ways in which priorities have shifted. How has restricted in-person access to content changed the ways we think about access to research and what initiatives or priorities have arisen as a result? As needs shift, how can CRKN best support members during this time? The panel will include a facilitated discussion with opportunities for Q&A.
