Synopsis

Libraries experienced years of profound learning during 2020 and 2021. This period has required them to urgently rethink their resources and services in order to meet the information needs of their users. This is not really new for information units, given that the dynamism required to work for users, who are at the center of all their actions, demands continuous adaptation to the changes produced by the transformations in the context in which the recipients operate, providing them with an essential and quality service for their satisfaction.
This book recovers the experiences of the outreach project "Cycle: Challenges and
Opportunities of the New Normal: Articulating Practice in Libraries and the Teaching of Library Science," in which we share the experiences we had during the years of the pandemic in our virtual library services.
