The need for access to cutting edge research will likely have an effect on library scholarship and open access efforts in the future, as a recent article notes the new environment created by calls for COVID-19 research sharing and the response of commercial publishers combined with the existing infrastructure of disciplinary preprint servers (Tavernier, 2020). While the Utah COVID-19 digital collection is open to public submissions, Marriott Library employees also made contributions to document how the pandemic impacted the University community, with materials documenting social distance measures within the library, creating 3-D printed face shields for medical personnel, and other University events such as virtual and informal commencement ceremonies. ./cache/www-emerald-com-3266.html ./txt/www-emerald-com-3266.txt
