Reopening academic libraries after university shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to reevaluate hours and challenge long-standing assumptions about when the library needs to be open. Join members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance consortium for a discussion on rethinking library hours in this “new normal” environment. Our panelists will share how hours have changed at their institutions and discuss the role that data and other factors have played in informing these changes, with an open Q&A to follow.
