In spring 2020, many academic libraries closed their buildings mid-semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making their physical collections abruptly unavailable. Even after reopening, much of the education at North American colleges and universities took place online, depopulating campuses. How did this situation affect the use of libraries’ electronic collections? What differences can we observe in how students and faculty discovered, accessed and used electronic resources in 2020 due to the pandemic? Which resources, if any, received the biggest increase in use as a result of the change in availability of library materials? Which changes in use patterns persisted even after the reopening of library buildings? How did we pull these information together? We used Excel’s Fuzzy Lookup to create unique reports from information spread across multiple platforms’ statistics. This presentation will explore Eresources usage during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as how to use the easy Fuzzy Lookup function to merge data.
