This research project explores the role of power and policing in libraries during COVID-19. Using the theoretical approach of repair and maintenance, we ask what is maintained when service gaps are repaired in relation to sector and governing needs rather than community needs.

About the Libraries Research Group

Our research focuses on key issues affecting the sector, examining the ways in which library and information services can be improved, and library collections enhanced, as well the role of libraries and librarianship in contemporary society.

Building on CSU’s position as the leading and largest provider of library education in Australia, we are ideally placed to be the group librarians turn to when they need an evidence base for their decisions, or new solutions to real-world problems.
