摘要

How Vanderbilt University Law Library and UC Berkeley Law Library reworked procedures and services to preserve their missions. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and its effects have dramatically changed the way that institutions and organizations function worldwide. Concerns about transmitting the disease have led to widespread changes in the provision of services and resources to the public. Like other entities, law libraries have had to make significant adjustments to safely meet the needs of their users. Academic law libraries, for example, have had to creatively rework their procedures and services to support law schools' efforts to preserve their missions during the pandemic. This article provides an overview of how two academic law libraries--the Massey Law Library at Vanderbilt University and the UC Berkeley Law Library--navigated the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
