Although our 2020 Spring Program at Temple University’s new Charles Library has been postponed until September 25th, the Delaware Valley Chapter of ACRL is planning an online professional development meet-up on April 3, from 10:00am – 12pm to address how to best support one another and our students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Plans are underway to have a large meeting via Zoom followed by breakout sessions tackling the issues that are most important to you. We believe that it is more necessary than ever to forge relationships and community during what will be an isolating time for many.
Our preliminary agenda is as follows:
- Develop a shared understanding for how COVID-19 and the affiliated closings are affecting regional academic libraries and students
- Brainstorm strategies to create community and support students
- Crowdsource resources we can use to do this work
You can register and suggest topics for the breakout sessions HERE.
