California has consistently been at the forefront of COVID-19 cases in the United States and thus has had more stringent regulations to slow the curve and save lives. These regulations have had a dramatic impact on academic libraries in Southern California, with many universities conducting online Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters. This presentation will include:
  • An introduction to California state and county COVID-19 restrictions.
  • An overview of how SCATLA (Southern California Theological Library Association) libraries have dealt with the COVID-19 restrictions.
  • A deep dive into how several SCATLA libraries - Azusa Pacific University, Biola University, Hope International University, and Loyola Marymount University - implemented creative solutions to support their communities under the COVID-19 restrictions. Issues of budget, instruction, online support, staffing, physical materials vs online materials, mailing services, and space will be discussed in detail.
  • Discussion of current COVID-19 related policies & services, one year after the pandemic began.
  • Plans for future policies & services in a world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
