Visions of Transformation for a New Model Library
The need to adapt during a crisis is often the impetus for change. During this presentation, Ixchel Faniel will share findings from an OCLC Research project that looked into the future with twenty-nine global leaders from public, two-year, four-year, and research libraries. As these leaders reflected on their responses to rapidly changing community and institutional needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, they discussed the changes they want to take into the future. These discussions illuminated new and evolving practices and policies to support the work, collections, and engagement experiences in libraries as they move beyond the pandemic.
