@acrl_dls Thanks so much for the wonderful Twitter chat! #DOLSTop5

@acrl_dls @monicarysavy A5: For work apps on my cell phone, I turned the notifications off so that I don’t feel the pressure to check up on work any time I see a red dot on my screen. It's simple but honestly helped me stop checking email when I wasn’t on the clock. #DOLSTop5

@jkobrien @acrl_dls A4: At UNM we cannot afford textbook purchases and we have policies and FAQs to help explain our budget constraints. #DOLSTop5

@samharlowlib @acrl_dls Yes! Our reserves team saw a big uptick in full book scan requests so we definitely had to increase communication about copyright. #DOLSTop5

[Alyssa Russo @AlyssaRusso14]

@acrl_dls A4: I think we’re seeing an increase in ebook demand. I do wish several of these ebook platforms were more interoperable with the library to avoid clunky access and account problems. #DOLSTop5

@acrl_dls @cynhudson @rebeccakmiller A3: One of my highlights was physical wellness via Zoom Fit classes offered for free to all employees. Our amazing instructor prepared multiple modifications for various fitness levels and for folks without equipment. I never imagined loving Zoom fitness so much. :D #DOLSTop5

@acrl_dls @hodgesc @barblockee @torreytrust @BondAaron A2: The investment in air purifiers and improved HVAC procedures, like increased full air exchanges in old/poorly ventilated buildings, feels like a big improvement not only for the next crisis but just for better public health. #DOLSTop5

@acrl_dls @SamVFritz @ianmilligan1 @ruebot @lintool Definitely! We all need practice, so this was great. And yes, NM isn't well connected to high-speed broadband overall, so we tried to avoid videos. #DOLSTop5

@heatherdalal @samharlowlib @acrl_dls @SamVFritz @ianmilligan1 @ruebot @lintool Same here. Students seem to like the flexibility of meeting virtually (and so do I). #DOLSTop5

@jkobrien @acrl_dls @SamVFritz @ianmilligan1 @ruebot @lintool We only have usage stats, but it does appear folks use them! :) #DOLSTop5

[Alyssa Russo @AlyssaRusso14]

@acrl_dls @SamVFritz @ianmilligan1 @ruebot @lintool A1: We distilled our most common topics covered in f2f instruction into low-bandwidth friendly learning objects dubbed Research Bytes. We used an accessibility checklist to give librarians practice building accessible learning objects. #DOLSTop5

@iTunesMusic @Hozier I enjoy the language and imagery used to portray women in your songs. What are your thoughts on feminism? #AskHozier
