摘要

当亚洲和欧洲国家正在努力应对Covid-19大流行时,2020年3月10日,牙买加出现了第一例来自英国的输入性病例。本文将追溯牙买加国家图书馆在大流行之前和期间采取的步骤,同时提高我们的文化遗产对牙买加和更广泛的侨民的价值。从1979年3月到2020年4月,NLJ庆祝了40年来对牙买加发展的卓越贡献。它一直是该地区在灾害管理和备灾方面的主要声音。通过其保存和保护处,以及灾难准备委员会的监督,国家图书馆已经成为信息和保护领域专业人员的培训基地。在强调司法法院工作的同时,文章还将介绍对区域和国际机构进行的声明和调查。这些组织包括加勒比大学、研究和机构图书馆协会(ACURIL)、国家图书馆馆长协会(国际图书馆协会联合会(IFLA)的一个小组)和美国档案工作者协会。开展的调查进一步了解了Covid-19对地区和国际图书馆和档案馆的影响。本文将讨论影响牙买加的其他大流行病危机。它还将证明,积极主动地为病毒事件做好准备可以减轻风险。NLJ利用这个机会,在与顾客保持社交距离的同时,促进了服务的提供。

Coping with Covid-19: The case of the National Library of Jamaica
While Asian and European countries were grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, the first imported case from the United Kingdom surfaced in Jamaica on 10 March 2020. The article will trace the steps taken by the National Library of Jamaica (NLJ) before and during the pandemic while improving the value of our cultural heritage to Jamaica and the wider diaspora. The NLJ celebrated 40 years of sterling contribution to the development of Jamaica from March 1979 to April 2020. It has been a leading voice in the region in disaster management and preparedness. Through its Preservation and Conservation Branch, and oversight from the Disaster Preparedness Committee, the NLJ has become a training ground for professionals in the information and conservation field. While highlighting the work of the NLJ, the article will also present statements and surveys conducted on regional and international bodies. These organisations include the Association of Caribbean University, Research and Institutional Libraries (ACURIL), the Community of Directors of National Libraries (a subgroup of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) and the Society of American Archivists. The surveys conducted gleaned a greater appreciation of the impact of Covid-19 on libraries and archives regionally and internationally. The article will address other pandemic crises that have affected Jamaica. It will also demonstrate that being proactive and prepared for viral episodes can mitigate the risks. The NLJ used the opportunity to facilitate service delivery while being socially distant from its patrons.
