Abstract
This study examines the perceived impact of COVID-19 as it pertains to library technology during the dates of September–November 2020 at academic libraries of six small institutions of higher education. It explores the adoption of technology at academic libraries and the perceptions of the community (students, faculty, staff, and administrators) with COVID-19 identified as a key component for staff when completing a library technology audit. Interviews were conducted with 17 respondents at these 6 institutions to understand their knowledge and their perceptions, finding more information about library technology pertaining to COVID-19. The main finding was that COVID-19 has made the community at small higher education institutions more aware of the academic library and its inherent technologies. The study was rooted with the adaptive leadership theory to connect a framework as an approach for guiding the small academic library concerning technology and the effects of COVID-19.
