Reopening Libraries?
by Chief Librarian, SAIACS 16 May '20

16 May '20

Dear Professional Colleagues, Please accept my apologies for asking these laymen questions, if this has been already discussed in LIS forum. I would like to know if any of us have prepared a protocol of operations of the library after lockdown is lifted. How are you planning to reopen the library and its services? In your library What are the preparations/procedures laid down in handling user services? How have you prepared for social distancing, precautions in handling of returned books, postal mails, staff duty. Are you going to practice closed access system until such time that we feel safe? Care and preservation of rare materials? I would value your input and suggestions and what is viable in our context. We want to protect human lives first and then resources. How do we cater to user needs in this scenario? I have either participated or listened (recorded sessions) to following webinars: https://youtu.be/iuuczmz4BR0 <https://youtu.be/iuuczmz4BR0> https://register.gotowebinar.com/recording/viewRecording/468197050605549441… Additional Readings; https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3990.pdf https://www.ifla.org/covid-19-and-libraries http://olc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/OLC-COVID-19-Reopening-Best-Pract… Thanking you ______________________________________ *Dr. Yesan Sellan, * *MLISc., PGDLAN, BCS., UGC-NET., PhD,* *Chief Librarian* South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS) 363 Dodda Gubbi Cross Road, Kothanur P.O., Bangalore 77, India Phone: 91 80 2846 5235/5344/ 5649, Fax: 91 80 28465412, Mobile: 91-9972348251 www.saiacs.org Alternative Email: yesans(a)gmail.com https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0501-5661 <yesans(a)gmail.com> ______________________________________ IMPORTANT : This message is intended only for the addressee.

by vinod mishra 15 May '20

15 May '20

Dear Library administrators As you know we need to strengthen our country economically due to Covid 19 therefore Librarian's need to think on this too. I suggest all library Administrators to kindly evaluate strongly your costly online resources and their uses statistics and propose which can be stopped. We need to see the cost effectiveness of each resources and services in this situation. It's my personal view only as I know many resources may be of less significance.
