Library Mood: Re-Creating the Library Experience from Home
Hodge, Megan
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v22 n1 p227-240 Jan 2022
The loss of a dedicated study area due to the transition to remote instruction during COVID-19 disproportionately affected students who had no place for academic work within the home that was free of distraction. This paper describes the creation of an online guide designed to help students re-create the library experience from home to better focus on schoolwork. It also outlines how other librarians can similarly support distance or commuter students with materials already on hand. These resources include library photographs for use as background images or screen savers on students' devices, audio that can be played as ambient noise, and stress reduction and mindfulness aids.
