SUMMARY:Keeping the Best of the Virtual Experience
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\nDue to COVID-19\, many libraries shut their physical 
 doors and worked in a virtual environment for weeks if not months. During 
 this time\, librarians had to quickly adjust their workplans\, 
 communication\, and ways of interacting with the public. There was not a 
 great deal of time to consider best practices for virtual libraries\, or to 
 research and incorporate the best virtual tools. \n\n\n\nIn this 
 presentation\, Lauren Hays will share best practices for virtual libraries 
 and tools for communication and organization. Even though libraries are 
 re-opening\, there are things from the virtual experience that can help 
 libraries use technology effectively and continue to maintain a virtual 
 presence for users. \n\n\n\nAs a result of this informative program\, 
 attendees will be able to:\n\n\n\n\n	Select technology tools for 
 communication and organization.\n	Identify best practices for virtual 
 libraries.\n	Determine ways to maintain a virtual presence for users.
