Abstract
Despite the uncertain challenges facing libraries of all types during the COVID-19 pandemic, new best practices and innovative ways of approaching services have emerged. Including the opening of the Taylor Family Digital Library in 2011, the University of Calgary has been contributing towards the ongoing development of the digital academic library. The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid leveraging of digital skills, platforms, expertise, and models of service delivery to continue providing exceptional and transformative experiences for the University of Calgary community. Initiatives discussed in this article include online work teams, virtual 360 tours, online library chat, digital collections agreements and remote service for archives and special collections.
