A Library’s Role in Times of COVID: Lessons Learned from the JHU Global COVID-19 Map

This presentation will introduce the evolution of the Johns Hopkins University global COVID-19 dashboard. From an unassuming side project started by a graduate student and their faculty advisor, to a vital global resource reaching millions of viewers per day, the JHU global COVID-19 dashboard reflects a trend towards public projects in higher education. The demands for supporting such a large-scale project with international impact transformed how the university, and in particular the library, has come to approach and manage such projects in collaboration with both internal and external partners. This presentation will detail the work of the JHU Sheridan Libraries, particularly in the early months of the pandemic, in managing the global COVID-19 dashboard’s underlying infrastructure and developing a framework for future public projects. The presentation will share lessons learned for libraries planning to engage in similar projects and provoke conversation about the role of libraries in public research.
