Libraries, librarians, archives, museums and the COVID-19 pandemic

摘要

The whole world woke up to the awareness of a word "COVID-19" in February 2020. Another word "pandemic" became attached to it because the new coronavirus that gave rise to this word, had stopped being an epidemic in China and had moved with frightening speed to the rest of the world. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic! Since February 2020, a lot has happened to make the COVID-19 one that is shutting down the world as it was. How are librarians, archivists and curators responding to the pandemic? What is being done - to give information about the pandemic to the world, to document what is happening, to disseminate information on how to prevent contracting the virus, to give safety information during the pandemic season?
