Library Systems Response to COVID-19
Cindy Li, Bridgewater State University
There are many new challenges surfacing during the COVID-19 pandemic: Conferences have been cancelled, and libraries around the world are facing difficult decisions on which services to offer, one of the biggest challenge is coming up with a strategy plan to smoothly transition students to return to campus when all the states order reopen. As library IT, it is very challenging during this unprecedented time, but it is also an opportunity for us to investigate and learn.
In this session, presenter would love to share their practices that work with team and collaborate with internal units and external partners to explore and develop systems, tools and new technology to engage students and faculty make use of library resources and improve library services.

Where Was I Again? Making Koha Recall User Actions After Login
Eric Phetteplace, California College of Arts
It’s possible to use code in OpacUserJS to create a framework for remembering user actions, so when a patron places a hold or adds a title to a list when they’re not logged in, Koha “remembers” what they were doing after they complete the login process.

Training Teamwork: We Have Your Back!
Jessie Zairo & Kelly McElligot, ByWater Solutions
How do we continue to educate Koha users as the software grows and flourishes each and every upgrade? How can learning Koha be both fun and educational? Jessie and Kelly answered these questions by creating Monday Minutes, a weekly tutorial video, and a blog post. Our goal was to break down one thing in Koha, demonstrate it, talk about use cases, all in a video of fewer than 10 minutes! This presentation will demonstrate how to create educational, fun, short videos to train Koha users, patrons, or anyone else who needs quick information on new developments of any kind.
