Library Issues and Trends: Before, During, and After COVID-19

Webcast April 27, 2020 Dr. Amanda Folk Dr. Melissa Fraser-Arnott Kelvin Watson Daphne Wood Mary Nino

Libraries are ever-evolving. As the community changes and grows, so does the library. When a pandemic hits, the library must adapt to it, too. Join us for this webcast and learn more about current library issues and trends, including how to handle a crisis like COVID-19. Guest speakers address questions, such as:

What are some current management/leadership processes trends you’re seeing in libraries?
What are some current service trends you’re seeing in libraries?
What are some workforce trends you’re seeing in libraries?
What services will move down the priority list or are on your list of services to drop?
What should new MLIS graduates know about the trends you’re seeing?

This webcast is brought to you by the SJSU School of Information’s Leadership and Management Program Advisory Committee.
