A 45-minute demonstration of why libraries are choosing GreenGlass to make collection management decisions with confidence

A 30-minute webinar about how to confidently and responsibly support the shifting collection

A 60-minute Transformative Leaders webinar about how to apply the OCLC Research Library Partnership's "Total Cost of Stewardship" framework and tools across multiple OCLC services, 0:49:47

In response to COVID-19, many of our library access services and collections colleagues powered down print course reserves in an effort to help keep communities safe by limiting exposure to high-use materials. Siena College Library and Princeton University Library both performed a hard reboot using Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) guidelines, tools, and technologies to provide faculty and students with considerably uninterrupted access to materials that had previously been available only in print. The end result for patrons was a transformation of traditional library reserves to a safer digital environment—from the point of item discovery and request—to the augmented check-in process. This digital expansion provided not only increased safety for our community and a continuation of services, but also served as an opportunity to educate patrons on copyright, ebooks, and digital alternatives. Although the final service to the patron is the same, two libraries have taken different approaches to provide the services. During the session, the presenters will share various aspects of their CDL services including the planning, technology, logistics, user instructions, and future plan.

In this webinar, hear from organizations on policies and procedures they are using during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the REALM Project’s Phase 1 research, Battelle has conducted a natural attenuation study to provide information on how long some commonly circulated library materials would need to be quarantined prior to being returned to public circulation. Testing was conducted by applying the virulent SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19) on five materials held at standard room temperature and humidity conditions. The materials tested included the following items, which were provided by Columbus Metropolitan Library: (1) Hardback book cover (buckram cloth) (2) Softback book cover (3) Plain paper pages inside a closed book (4) Plastic book covering (biaxially oriented polyester film) (5) DVD case.

As libraries and museums around the country begin to resume operations and reopen to the public, the need for clear information to support the handling of core museum, library, and archival materials has become increasingly urgent. OCLC, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and Battelle are conducting research on how long the COVID-19 virus survives on materials that are prevalent in libraries, archives, and museums. The project will draw upon the research to produce authoritative, science-based information on how—or if— materials can be handled to mitigate exposure to staff and visitors.
