Envisioning a New Model Library

Library leaders had to make quick, robust changes to their library workflows, community offerings, and staffing in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join us for a 60-minute webinar to hear from:

Dr. Ixchel Faniel, Senior Research Scientist, who will present library models emerging as a result of these changes. The models are based on an OCLC Research study with 29 global library leaders, who discussed their visions for libraries as a result of changing practices and environments.

Emma Hill Kepron, Associate Dean of the University Library at the University of Winnipeg, who will discuss how library practices and use of OCLC WorldShare Management Services has evolved during the pandemic and how their adaptations fit into new models of library operation.
