The librarians have to be aware of the TERMITE ATTACK, especially those libraries which have maintained archival and rare book collections. As the libraries do not open and function during lock down period, the collection is easily susceptible for termite attack. On weekly basis it is necessary to open the library and verify the book resources housed especially on ground floor.

During the shutdowns, most libraries and their users must now go entirely online. The problem is that the digital availability of many library holdings is not equivalent to their physical availability. For example, the vast majority of books from the 20th century are long out of print and have never been published in any e-book form. And even for materials that have been digitized somewhere, those digital copies are often not available from most libraries.
