Background: Despite the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic placed on many libraries’ existing workflows and operations, many librarians developed and debuted new services that addressed novel needs that emerged during the pandemic. This report describes how two electronic resource librarians at regional hospitals within a healthcare corporation used exhibition platforms to showcase resident research in an online format as a complement to in-person resident research programming. Case Presentation: Over the course of the pandemic, two exhibition platform variants were implemented, one year apart. This case report describes how each platform was developed. The first online event was conducted using a virtual exhibit platform to minimize in-person contact. The second online event, held the following year, blended a traditional live event with virtual elements using the online exhibit platform. To ensure completion of tasks, project management techniques were adopted throughout the event planning process. Conclusions: The pandemic created opportunities for hospitals to explore transforming meetings from primarily live and onsite into hybrid and fully virtual events. While many corporate hospitals have transitioned backed to primarily in-person programming, newly adopted online practices such as online judging platforms and automation of continuing medical education tasks will likely remain. As in-person restrictions within healthcare settings are lifted or eased at uneven rates, organizations may continue to explore the value of in-person in-person meetings versus the video conference experience of the same meeting.

“…18 This is especially true as academic libraries collaborate on scholarly digital projects or involve institutional partners beyond the library or campus. 19 Michael J. Dulock and Holley Long report on how their library incorporated project management methodology adapted from techniques used in agile software development to deliver digital objects and collections with recommendation for other libraries. 20 Documentation and visualization of the iterative process has evolved from group editing bulleted, narrative texts and Gantt charts to more robust, collaborative software and applications that can be shared across many users and several institutional partners.…”

Every other year, the ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee produces a document on top trends in higher education as they relate to academic librarianship. Topics in this edition of ACRL Top Trends will be familiar to some readers who will hopefully learn of new materials to expand their knowledge. Other readers will be made aware of trends that are outside of their experience. This is the nature of trends in our current technological and educational environments: change is continual, but it affects different libraries at different rates. The 2018 top trends share several overarching themes, including the impact of market forces, technology, and the political environment on libraries.

“…Before PM, there was uncertainty, failure to make timely submissions, and difficulty managing multiple projects (Michalak & Rysavy, 2020). The PM brought the flow of work and brought library staff and their stakeholders together (Burress & Rowell, 2017).…”

Technology is used to keep track of things and timing and make the best decision on the information available. Project Management (PM) has to offer through its various software and technical tools. PM software has always been compared to the traditional ways of libraries. If a library has always been compared to its traditional ways of doing projects, PM brings systematic strategies to the planned project of libraries from beginning to end. The main objective of this research is to find a systematic literature review on the software of PM, the -advantages of using PM in libraries, and the challenges faced by the libraries using PM. This research used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to illustrate the systematic literature review. The terms “Project Management” and (“library” OR “libraries”) were applied to the advanced research of the five databases: Ebscohost, Emerald, Scopus, WOS, and ScienceDirect were selected databases to ensure relevant studies were captured. The main finding from the research is that using Project Management software in libraries has many advantages, such as clarity of planning and a good understanding of technical tools and software, despite many challenges. It provides end-to-end planning and can be adapted to frequent changes to increase productivity and success. In addition, unlike other studies, this study indicates the missing gap in the literature, and it is hoped that it will guide the researchers.
