Online library services provided during the COVID -19 pandemics: In association with the websites of the University Libraries of Sri Lanka

Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic, which started in China and spread to Sri Lanka on March 24, 2020, has now become an unavoidable situation. In the face of this situation, the government closed the country from time to time to prevent the spread of the disease from the time it started. This catastrophic situation affected more or less every sector of the country and universities can be described as one of the most unique fields. In the face of this situation, university libraries continued to provide education to students through online methods, and students also had to adapt to online schooling. With this online education, the current environment is conducive for university libraries to provide students with the information they need for their learning, teaching, and research online. The main purpose of this study is to study through their web pages what services are provided by university libraries in a way that readers can access online in the face of this epidemic
