Our librarians and staff are working hard (remotely, of course) to ensure we have a robust set of digital services available for Spring Quarter. This infographic shows the increase in Slack messages sent—a 177% increase over the previous month—all in an effort to help the UC San Diego community transition to online instruction and ensure our students can continue to thrive academically.
