| Three Years of Pandemic Life: A Roundup of Information Today's COVID-19 Content |
|
by Brandi Scardilli
|
| The day Information Today's office closed because of a new virus called COVID-19—March 16, 2020—was the same day we sent the April 2020 issue to the printer. I don't have to remind you of the fear and uncertainty of those mid-March days. The first issue we worked on at home, May 2020 (which became May/June 2020 because of the upheaval of that time), was the first one to address what we were living through. Now that the pandemic has waned (i.e., the public health emergency has been declared over) and COVID has become yet another virus we live with (albeit one that should continue to be taken seriously), I wanted to compile a record of Information Today's COVID coverage as a resource for future researchers. |
