The Impact ◽  
Financial Losses

March 2020 became a pivoting moment for higher education in the United States, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced colleges and universities to switch to remote delivery of instruction within weeks. The impact of this event is deep and far-reaching. There is already a deluge of articles about how most faculty and students have had to adjust to a new way of teaching and learning--or how administrators have had to brace for financial losses. However, little has been written about the situations librarians and library staff are facing.

California has consistently been at the forefront of COVID-19 cases in the United States and had stringent regulations to slow the curve and save lives. These regulations have had a dramatic impact on academic libraries in Southern California, with many universities conducting online Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters. This presentation includes: An introduction to California COVID-19 restrictions. An overview of how SCATLA (Southern California Theological Library Association) libraries have dealt with the COVID-19 restrictions. A deep dive into how several SCATLA libraries - Azusa Pacific University, Biola University, Hope International University, and Loyola Marymount University - implemented creative solutions to support their communities during COVID-19 restrictions. Issues of budget, instruction, online support, staffing, physical materials vs online materials, mailing services, and space are discussed in detail. Plans for future policies and services in a world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper describes the author’s experience with automating and streamlining cataloging workflows of traditional materials at the Florida International University Libraries using a combination of various cataloging tools, including MarcEdit, a local batch loading tool GenLoad, as well as OCLC services including WorldCat Updates service, OCLC Connexion’s batch process searches and Local File Manager. The paper addresses the old cataloging processes of these traditional materials, the developing process of new workflows and their impacts, and concludes with lessons learned and success factors. The new workflows have improved work efficiency and metadata control. The hope is that this paper will be of interest to libraries desiring to automate their cataloging workflow of traditional materials.

Descriptive Method

 The study aims at highlighting the instructions - numbered ( 92) 1995 and issued by the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research – confined to the libraries of Iraqi universities, and suggesting new ones. The instructions accord with the developments in the Arabic and International Universities. The analytical descriptive method is used to fulfill the study. By logging into their sites and emailing them, the researcher has observed that the organizational structures, services, and bylaws of many Iraqi, Arabic, and International University libraries have been making use of relevant criteria and studies. The study has suggested new instructions about the organizational structures of the university libraries as to their procedures, services, buildings, supplies, and human and financial resources.
