We would welcome submissions that address how libraries and librarians are using electronic resources to provide services to users in both the physical and virtual worlds and how we can successfully face short-term and long-term challenges in our profession. The editors would like to receive contributions to the column by Thursday, August 27, 2020. Contributions should not be published elsewhere.
