| Abstract: | In March of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic upended the world and changed the way people worked, lived and coped. In addition to pandemic restrictions and social distancing measures, academic libraries suffered budget cuts, layoffs, and closures. This paper explores the effect the pandemic had on New Jersey academic librarians during the Fall 2021 semester re-openings. Respondents were asked questions pertaining to their experiences working during the Fall 2021 semester: if they had returned to campus, if they were experiencing challenges, if they were affected by austerity measures, and if their view of the profession–and their intention to stay–had changed. |
