Abstract

Abstract Historically, the library Reserve collections provide access to required readings so students could read these materials in one place for a limited time. This system guarantees the availability of required readings whenever the library is open and contributes to the concept of accessibility, affordability, and equality of higher education. But what happens if the library space becomes inaccessible? What alternatives can be offered when even e-versions of required readings are non-existent? One of the major concerns for the imminent remote operability of the Lloyd G.Sealy library during COVID-19 lockdown was Reserves. When the John Jay College campus was shut down, the virtual 24/7 library operation became a reality. The reference services continued to function via email and chat and the questions about access to the physical Reserve collection and demand for those resources to be available in e-format began to form an avalanche. The author surveyed the teaching faculty about the use of the library’s Reserve collections during the remote teaching mode and analyzed data to assess the functionality of the Reserves in order to help the library make preparations for the Fall 2021 semester as well as envision the post-pandemic future for the Reserve collections.

在风暴中暂停:评估图书馆储备馆藏在大流行后未来的功能
从历史上看,图书馆馆藏提供了必要的阅读材料,这样学生就可以在一个地方阅读这些材料。该系统保证了图书馆开放时所需读物的可用性,并有助于实现高等教育的可及性、可负担性和平等概念。但是如果图书馆空间变得无法进入会发生什么呢?当连必读材料的电子版都不存在时,我们还能提供什么替代方案呢?在COVID-19封锁期间,劳埃德·g·西利图书馆即将实现远程操作的主要问题之一是储备。当约翰·杰伊学院校园关闭时,虚拟的24/7图书馆运营成为了现实。参考咨询服务继续以电子邮件和聊天的方式运作,有关获取实物馆藏和以电子格式提供这些资源的需求的问题开始形成雪崩。笔者对教学人员进行了远程教学模式下的馆藏使用情况调查,并对数据进行分析,评估馆藏的功能,以帮助图书馆做好2021年秋季学期的准备工作,并展望疫情后馆藏的未来。
