Global responses of health science librarians to the COVID ‐19 (Corona virus) pandemic: a desktop analysis

AbstractThe COVID ‐19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for health science librarians. During this pandemic, librarians are playing an active role by increasing the public’s awareness of the virus, maintaining document delivery services and providing research support. This paper uses the method of desktop analysis of the websites of selected library associations to identify the responses of health science librarians to the COVID‐19 pandemic. The study highlights significant initiatives taken by some health science librarians which can be replicated by others to meet the needs of library users in t he COVID‐19 health crisis. JM
