LIVESTREAMING
The Organizing Committee for the Support of Libraries (CSL) invites you to its first webcast and brings together library and information professionals from Greece and abroad to share their insights on the subject: Innovation, tools and services for libraries: the COVID-19 challenge.
The webcast will take place in two parts. The first part will be held on Friday 9 April at 18:00 Athens time (17:00 CET).
The webcast is organized by the members of the Committee in the frames of its annual activities aiming at the support of library and information professionals in Greece.
The crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unique challenges of global scale. Library professionals were forced to adapt and explore innovative approaches in order to continue providing quality services to their users, remotely.
The aim of this virtual meeting is to present the innovations, the technologies and initiatives in the library sector that proved to be efficient during the COVID-19 pandemic. Best practices will be highlighted, to help other libraries overcome this pandemic time or to meet the post pandemic needs of their users.
