Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world, affecting the economy, businesses, jobs, education, health, and many other things among it. Many businesses and organizations went virtual to survive the disease and reduce the losses. The crisis encountered during the pandemic enabled people to reinvent plans and convert threats into opportunity to overcome the challenges. The study aims to analyze Fiji National University Library’s response during the COVID-19 pandemic and measures enforced to tackle the pandemic and lockdown situation for smooth operation of the online services provided to the undergraduate and postgraduate students, teaching-learning faculties, higher degree researcher’s (HDRs) and how active online workshops and programs support the dissemination of information to the users.
