Global Library Reactions to COVID-19

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) has created a webpage devoted to COVID-19 and the Global Library Field:

"The information and resources below are provided on a non-exhaustive basis but will be updated regularly. It is based on publicly available information, and that submitted to updates@ifla.org. We welcome additional ideas, references, suggestions and corrections to this address."

The page is divided into sections on topics such as:

• Understanding COVID-19 and its spread
• Library closures around the world
• Managing different approaches to restrictions
• Staying safe at home and work
• Providing services remotely
• Managing remote working
• Reassigning library resources
• Actions by Associations, National Libraries and Library Partners
