Present study examines the acceptance and use of social media by public librarians during the COVID-19 pandemic based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model. Simple random method based on Morgan table was used, and 175 public librarians were selected to participate in this study. A questionnaire was used to collect data, and SPSS statistical software was used for data analysis. Findings revealed that the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model can be applied to the admission test for public libraries in the context of using social media during the pandemic.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to gather information that can be useful in guiding libraries that hope to hire a social worker, wish to collaborate with social workers in their community, or integrate social work values into librarians’ workflows. The study uses qualitative interviews with social workers from different public library systems. Five major themes emerged through the interviews: engagement, regardless of whether this was with patrons, community partners, or staff; the right to self-determination; the impacts of social isolation; the importance of a trauma-informed model; and the need to balance safety and inclusion.
