Abstract

The experience of COVID-19 has prompted a reckoning within both special collections and the larger library community about how we do our work. This article provides some thoughts about the “new normal” of working in the COVID-19 era. It shares some informal conversations with colleagues as well as guides to sources for further reflection.
