Koç University Suna Kıraç Library will host a Virtual Poster Session on how academic libraries deal with the pandemic.
The submission deadline was extended to May 25th
The actual Virtual poster session will be on June 10th/11th/12th
It’s not news anymore…counting more than 2 months of a different, unpleasant reality for the whole World, it’s very clear our role, activities, plans, norms, standards have changed. Even postponed or cancelled. Has this marked the end of our contribution and support to research or is it just an abrupt shift to our identity and role?
Trying to put together the experience and strategic actions of academic libraries in Turkey and worldwide, we decided to organize and host a virtual poster session as a freely accessible pool of evidence. Showcasing our “survival” skills under the current circumstances can help us engage with each other to share experience, difficulties, best solutions and unsuccessful attempts, upcoming plans and lessons learned.
