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.

Political Exile

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8034.2016v18n1p207Neste artigo são explorados os anos de exílio de Guerreiro Ramos nos Estados Unidos (1966-1982), questionando como um intelectual esquerdista brasileiro, de ascendência africana, lidou com o clima social e político dos Estados Unidos nesse período. O foco está em duas questões: sua carreira na Escola de Administração Pública da University of Southern California (USC), onde ele permaneceu até sua morte, e sua relação, como um brasileiro de cor, com a política racial radical nos Estados Unidos nesse período. Argumenta-se que, na USC, o pragmatismo e a habilidade de Guerreiro Ramos de produzir sucesso em circunstâncias adversas, aprendidos durante sua carreira no Brasil, possibilitaram-lhe fazer o mesmo na USC – transformar a adversidade do exílio em um sucesso criativo equiparável. Seu brilho e carisma como intelectual e como professor granjearam-lhe admiração, respeito, popularidade e uma carreira acadêmica segura. Sua criatividade e abertura a novas ideias permitiram-lhe abraçar o campo da sociologia americana, mesmo quando continuava a se opor ao imperialismo americano e a trazer a sociologia para a crítica da administração pública americana. Quanto a sua relação com a política racial americana desse período, mesmo no Brasil, ele já havia se afastado do engajamento anterior com as questões raciais e isso continuou nos Estados Unidos. A especulação aqui é que sua identidade como um estrangeiro exótico o protegeu de sofrer, diretamente, a discriminação racial direcionada aos afro-americanos. Finalmente, seu exílio aumentou seu senso de ser um “de fora”, um “homem entre parêntesis” tanto no Brasil como nos Estados Unidos.

In March 2003 the University of Mississippi Libraries made our MetaSearch tool publicly available. After a year of working with this product and integrating it into the library Web site, a wide variety of libraries interested in our implementation process and experiences began to call. Libraries interested in this product have included consortia, public, and academic libraries in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. This article was written in an effort to share the recommendations and concerns given. Much of the advice is general and could be applied to many of the MetaSearch tools available. Google Scholar and other open Web initiatives that could impact the future of MetaSearching are also discussed.
