Lauren Hays writes on Lucidea’s Think Clearly Blog, “Many special libraries continue to provide face-to-face services, allowing for more readily established connections. However, as physical space for libraries is reduced and virtual libraries become increasingly common, the need for virtual services increases. … Librarians need to consider both how to create connections to promote use of the virtual library and to encourage user autonomy when physical and pedagogical barriers are present.”Hays’ tips for “maintain[ing] professional connections when working and interacting virtually with clients” include having quick responses to inquiries, choosing technology formats that meet user needs, and creating self-paced and on-demand training resources.
