Presenting at the following sessions
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.
