ACRL Webinar | The Future of the Digital Library: Leveraging Digital Content in an In-Person Learning Environment

In the last year, academic libraries have had to exchange their traditional methods of student support for newer, untested formats to help students manage their new digital learning environment.

Now, with a return to primarily in-person learning on the horizon, libraries are having to re-adjust their offerings to incorporate the successful digital strategies they’ve implemented over the last year with their traditional services.

This panel will bring together librarians who have done innovative work implementing digital content during the pandemic to discuss how they plan to leverage their digital offerings as campuses re-open for the fall. Topics will include:

• How libraries coped with the sudden shift to remote learning
• What initiatives librarians started during COVID to ensure they could continue to support students
• Which strategies they plan to continue with as students return to campus
• How libraries plan to integrate their digital and in-person services moving forward
• The role that digital content plays in their long term strategy
