To protect students, faculty, and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Ohio State University Libraries made rapidly evolving decisions about building closures, services offered, and resources available. Our team was responsible for communicating these changes to the public.
Working across University Libraries departments, I gathered pertinent information into a central web resource for users: Library Services During COVID-19.
In response to a request from University Libraries leadership, I also created a Virtual Experiences page. On this page, I compiled information about upcoming webinars, posted recorded webinar sessions and short videos in a “Curator Talks” series, directed users to online workshops, compiled a list of digital exhibits, and more.
In addition to creating and maintaining the Virtual Experiences website, I edited the recorded sessions to ensure adherence to enterprise brand standards. I also transcribed the videos and added closed captioning in alignment with WCAG accessibility requirements. These recorded virtual experiences were hosted on the University Libraries YouTube Channel. The shorter “Curator Talks” videos were also posted in a new playlist on the University Libraries Facebook Page and garnered above-average engagement rates.
