About the Book

This book examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on libraries, library management, and information services across different institutions. It brings together a collection of studies that explore how libraries and information centres adapted to unprecedented challenges during the global health crisis. The volume highlights the changing role of libraries in ensuring continued access to information, supporting users remotely, and maintaining essential services during periods of lockdown and restricted access.

The book focuses on key issues related to library operations, digital service delivery, resource management, and the evolving responsibilities of Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals. It discusses the challenges faced by librarians and information managers while responding to rapidly changing user needs and technological demands. In addition to identifying obstacles, the book presents innovative approaches and experimental solutions that can help libraries enhance resilience and improve service delivery in times of crisis. It serves as a useful resource for librarians, information professionals, researchers, students of Library and Information Science, and policymakers interested in understanding the transformation of library services during and beyond the pandemic.
