Abstract

The Free Library of Philadelphia’s online patron engagement has been continuous during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Special Collections Division rushed to generate substantial and engaging online programming using a variety of freeware systems so as not to burden our overworked IT department. We built a sustainable, flexible repository that is populated with videos, podcasts, games, exhibitions, and other activities which can be accessed by patrons of all ages and learning needs. The process has generated opportunities for our staff to interact in new and exciting ways with patrons as programming needs evolve. The model is easily adapted for other groups and institutions and may be a beneficial tool for library workers looking to promote online content. The repository can be found at http://www.bit.ly/FunWithFLPSpecColl.

我们可以免费做!

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，费城免费图书馆的在线用户参与一直在持续。特别收藏部急于使用各种免费软件系统制作大量引人入胜的在线节目，以免给我们超负荷工作的IT部门带来负担。我们建立了一个可持续的、灵活的存储库，其中包含视频、播客、游戏、展览和其他活动，可供所有年龄和学习需求的用户访问。随着编程需求的发展，这个过程为我们的员工创造了以新的、令人兴奋的方式与顾客互动的机会。这种模式很容易适用于其他团体和机构，对于希望推广在线内容的图书馆工作人员来说可能是一种有益的工具。该存储库可以在http://www.bit.ly/FunWithFLPSpecColl上找到。
