Recordings from International Symposium on Reopening Of Research Libraries

Recordings from a recent international symposium on the reopening of research libraries are available. The event was organized by the International Alliance of Research Library Associations (IARLA) and took place last week:

"IARLA convened an international symposium on 3 June 2020, which explored the plans that research libraries are putting in place to reopen their physical library buildings and reinstate their onsite services in the post-, or continuing-, Covid-19 landscape. The symposium included presentations from speakers in the United States, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Australia, who shared the plans and preparations that they are putting in place for the reopening of their libraries, how these relate to their wider institutional context, and how they correspond with their national and regional experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic."

One of the speakers was Vivian Lewis, University Librarian, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
