DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 19\, 2020\, Dr. Pierre Elias\, a Columbia U
niversity cardiology fellow\, reached out to Research and Learning Technol
ogies librarian Madiha Choksi to utilize the Columbia University Libraries
' 3D printers to produce supplemental face shields. Within a few days\, sh
e had optimized an existing design for face shields\, taken two 3D printer
s from Butler Library to her apartment\, and was printing parts and assemb
ling shields. A few days later\, she was joined by her fellow librarians\,
Alex Gil and Moacir P. de Sá Pereira. Two months later this team of libr
arians had organized one of the largest PPE grassroots efforts in the city
\, COVID Maker Response\, which effectively produced and distributed more
than 25\,000 face shields to New York City hospitals and other front line
institutions during the height of the city's pandemic crisis.
In th
is talk\, the three librarians will share their experience building this v
olunteer collective: logistics\, finances\, project management\, and commu
nications. The team will also expand on their notion of "nimble tents" - a
trans-institutional approach to rapid hacking in moments of crisis - and
recent experiences and examples\, including the #PRMapathon library respon
se that effectively rebuilt the OpenStreetMap of Puerto Rico after Hurrica
ne Maria to help the Red Cross\, and the rapid response research of Torn A
part / Separados during the family separation crisis of 2018. At the core
of the librarians' argument is the idea that library professionals already
have the skills they need to make effective and impactful interventions i
n moments of crisis.
