“…In the Gao region of Mali, a network of local radio stations, URTEL, enabled information flow to and from communities in conflict areas not easily reached by others (MINUSMA, 2020). In Utah, a COVID-19 Digital Collection used open crowdsourcing to present digital photos, stories and oral histories from local people, giving communities a voice on their experiences of the pandemic (Neatrour et al, 2020). Online platforms have enabled new connections across countries, such as the GEO Indigenous Hackathon or the '#outbreakofgenerosity' campaign described earlier, or Frena La Curva ('Slow the Curve') in Latin America, a citizen platform where volunteers, entrepreneurs, activists and social organisations can organise social responses to COVID-19 (Lungati, 2020).…”

Responses to COVID-19 have included top-down, command-and-control measures, laissez-faire approaches, and bottom-up, community-driven solidarity and support, reflecting long-standing contradictions around how people and populations are imagined in public health-as a 'problem' to be managed, as 'free agents' who make their own choices, or as a potential 'solution' to be engaged and empowered for comprehensive public health. In this rapid review, we examine community-engaged responses that move beyond risk communication and instead meaningfully integrate communities into decision-making and multi-sectoral action on various dimensions of the response to COVID-19. Based on a rapid, global review of 42 case studies of diverse forms of substantive community engagement in response to COVID-19, this paper identifies promising models of effective community-engaged responses and highlights the factors enabling or disabling these responses. The paper reflects on the ways in which these communityengaged responses contribute to comprehensive approaches and address social determinants and rights, within dynamics of relational power and inequality, and how they are sometimes able to take advantage of the ruptures and uncertainties of a new pandemic to refashion some of these dynamics.

“…The pandemic has also encouraged faculty and student involvement in academic activities through digital resources (Macchia, 2021). Consequently, Libraries at the University of Utah encourage communities and people in the State to build their digital collections to be used by wider community (Neatrour, 2020).…”

Problem Statement: Regardless of the significant increase in the use of digital libraries during the Covid-19 pandemic, distribution of its publications has not been mapped as a form of scientific communication. Purpose: Therefore, this research aims to describe and map the information on digital libraries during the pandemic on international publications Scopus indexed. Method: The bibliometric assessment method was used to collect data from 66 publications on the Scopus database. The writer simultaneously used search keywords such as “Digital Library,” “Electronic Library,” and “Covid-19” to determine the publications from January 2020-June 2021. Results: The result showed that 23 (34.8%) out of 66 publications had high relevance to digital libraries during the pandemic, while 74% are scientific journal articles. The country with the largest contribution is the USA, while the largest publisher with only 35% open publications is Emerald. Meanwhile, the central topics in this research map include “Pandemic”, “Covid”, “Library”, and “Services”. Conclusion: The distribution of publications as a form of academic communication has not intertwined, as indicated by the absence of linkage between each author, thereby creating a high potential for studies and publications related to this topic. In addition to increasing the digital literacy of librarians and users, the transformation to high-tech virtual and digital services also stands as an adaptation effort. Keywords: Bibliometric Analysis; Covid-19; Digital Libraries; Electronic Libraries; Pandemic Era Abstrak Permasalahan: Perpustakaan digital pada masa pandemi covid-19 ini semakin diminati oleh pengguna dan semakin menarik untuk dikaji oleh cendekiawan. Sementara itu sebaran publikasi tentang perpustakaan digital di masa pandemi belum dipetakan sebagai bentuk komunikasi ilmiah. Tujuan: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan memetakan informasi tentang perpustakaan digital di masa pandemi Covid-19 pada publikasi internasional terindeks scopus. Metode: Melalui metode penilaian bibliometrik, diperoleh data sejumlah 66 publikasi pada database Scopus. Penulis menggunakan kata kunci pencarian “Digital Library”, “Electronic Library”, dan “Covid-19” secara simultan untuk rentan waktu publikasi bulan Januari 2020 hingga Juni 2021. Hasil: Temuan penelitian bahwa terdapat 23 (34,8%) dari sejumlah 66 publikasi yang dipilih dengan validasi dan relevansi tinggi berkaitan dengan perpustakaan digital di masa pandemi Covid-19. Artikel jurnal ilmiah merupakan jenis publikasi yang mendominasi dengan jumlah 74%. Asal negara penyumbang terbesar yakni USA dan publisher terbanyak yakni Emerald. Sangat disayangkan hanya ditemukan sejumlah 35% publikasi open access. Topik sentral pada peta penelitian ini yakni “Pandemic”, “Covid”, “Library”, dan “Sevices”. Kesimpulan: Simpulan penulis bahwa sebaran publikasi sebagai bentuk komunikasi akademik belum terjalin, terlihat dari belum adanya keterkaitan masing-masing author, oleh karenanya potensi penelitian dan publikasi berkaitan dengan topik ini sangat tinggi. Adapun adaptasi yang perlu dilakukan perpustakaan di masa pandemi yakni bertransformasi ke layanan virtual dan digital berteknologi tinggi, disamping meningkatkan literasi digital pustakawan dan pengguna. Kata Kunci: Analisis Bibliometrika; Covid-19; Perpustakaan Digital; Perpustakaan Elektronik,; Era Pandemi

“…Other organizations invited people to submit material items, such as Australia Post, who invited Australian citizens to post written letters or the material outputs of their newly acquired hobbies (Hobbins, 2020). A third type of archive invited individual citizens to share digital stories about the impact of the pandemic on their everyday lives (Neatrour et al, 2020). Some of these citizen-oriented projects focus on pandemic-related political issues.…”

“…In addition to collecting submissions via our own platform (University of Amsterdam CREATE Lab, 2020), we are establishing collaborations with institutions and individuals that have compiled similar collections, such as regional archives from the Digital Heritage Network (Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed, 2020) and the collection of contributions by visual artists assembled and presented on a dedicated website by the artist collective Nieuw Dakota (2020). As recent studies have shown, collaboration with partners is key in getting a wide variety of responses that cover various social groups and regions (Chu, 2020;Neatrour et al, 2020). If we are to write representative and inclusive histories about the lives of people who have lived through the pandemic, we need to make sure that, from the start, we collect documentation in a geographically, culturally, and socially inclusive way.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to the obvious implications for public health and the economy at a global scale, has also had significant social and cultural effects: the partial or complete lockdown of public life breaks social and cultural networks and habits, and necessitates the invention of new forms of communication, contact, and inspiration. Over the course of the pandemic, various initiatives have emerged that have tried to capture this unique moment in history by collecting documentation on the social and cultural impact of the pandemic on people's daily lives. Most of these collections were created bottom-up, either by actively approaching individuals or communities to contribute or be interviewed, or by opening platforms where citizens could directly contribute documentation. In this paper, we analyse two such citizengenerated collections of experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic: the 'Corona in the City' collection, assembled by the Amsterdam Museum for an online exhibition with the same title, and the 'Dagboek Corona' (Corona Diary) collection of diary contributions, assembled by the Dutch public historian and journalist José Boon. The paper discusses the background of these citizen-generated COVID-19 collections, assessing their scope and accessibility, and presenting a first, qualitative analysis of their content. We conclude with a reflection on the implications of the findings for people's social life and identity, indicating how the datasets can be explored in further research and how the findings may benefit effective policy making.
