Scientific Libraries in "The Zone"

Abstract

We have just lived through a dramatic situation whose consequences in all areas-social, economic, cultural, political, labor, health, etc.-are still largely unwritten. In our small patch of this recently shaken world, one of the most evident transformations that we scientific libraries have had to live through during the confinement and de-escalation has been the sustained experience of "continuing to make library" working from our homes, a circumstance not exempt, in a way, from the allegorical paradox of a new time.
