“…Many articles focusing on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on IL instruction in academic libraries take the form of survey research (Ibacache et al, 2021;Shin et al, 2022) and case studies (Dempsey and Heil, 2021;Dong, 2021;Ezell, 2021;Howes et al, 2021;Joe, 2020;Leibiger and Aldrich, 2022;Lierman et al, 2022;Mannion, 2021;Proctor et al, 2021;Siddall, 2022;Wheeler and Kyprianou-Chavda, 2021).

“…Surveys are also another technique for assessing the needs of online students, and can provide similar findings to interviewing this population in terms of the importance of patrons being able to easily and efficiently access library services and resources (Harlow & Hill, 2020;Ismail, 2016;Kvenild & Bowles-Terry, 2011;Maddox & Stanfield, 2019;Skarl & Bosque, 2019;Sterling et al, 2017). Overall, the literature shows the need to continue assessing the research demands of virtual students, particularly to see if the COVID-19 global pandemic has influenced or changed how they interact and view the library and to build off the emerging research (Cole & Raish, 2020;Dempsey & Heil, 2021;Ezell, 2021;Nowicki, 2020;Oladipo & Okiki, 2020;Peuler & Coltrain, 2020;Wheeler & Kyprianou-Chavda, 2021;Ziegenfuss, 2020).…”

A silver lining for pandemic-weary libraries: How blended and flipped instructional programs have improved upon pre-pandemic norms

“…The shift to online learning during the pandemic was prolific and expansive, as evidenced by the host of recent research publications (e.g., Allam et al, 2020 ; Al-Baadani & Abbas, 2020 ; Ezell, 2021 ; Ives, 2021 ; Kurlanska, 2022 , etc.). What's more, the abrupt nature of this transition, coupled with pandemic-induced stress brought on by sudden life changes, presented novel challenges for both instructors and students alike ( Bacher-Hicks & Goodman, 2021 ; Browning et al, 2021 ; Coyne et al, 2020 ).…”
