All change: Point to Point Communication
Jane del Pizzo and Heather Robinson

How does a small, geographically distributed, team of information professionals continue the move from a heritage library system and manual ordering process to an integrated and innovative library service, during a pandemic, whilst keeping everyone talking (nicely) together?
