In response to the implications of COVID-19 on library access services and collections, the Siena College Library utilized Controlled Digital Lending guidelines, tools, and technologies to provide faculty and students with considerably uninterrupted access to course reserves. The end result for patrons was a transformation of traditional library reserves to a safer digital environment, from the point of item discovery and request, to the check-in process. This digital expansion provided not only increased safety for our community and a continuation of services, but also served as an opportunity to educate patrons on copyright, ebooks, and digital alternatives.
