Description:
Between August and October 2020, ASFA ran a survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 on aquatic science libraries around the world. With restrictions in many places library staff and patrons were unable to access buildings, we were interested to find out what impact this was having on staff and learn whether libraries were helping their communities respond to the virus. This article presents a summary of the survey results, further analysis will be undertaken by the ASFA Impact and Strategies Working Group, looking particularly at ways in which libraries can mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Librarians have many transferable skills which can be of use to local and global communities during these difficult times and it is vital we let communities know what we can offer.
