[Libs-Or] Contract tracing and libraries? And Free contact tracer training for anyone in the world

[Matthew Baiocchi]

I owe Jere a big apology for hijacking the thread. I hear contract tracing and I'm like one of Pavlov's dogs who immediately goes into manual library contact tracing mode.


I am very sorry, Jere, for interrupting your listserv thread on the free contact info tracing course.


And thanks to the person who gently informed me of what I should have noticed had I properly read the entire email in the first place.


Party on, library folk. (Phew! Almost forgot the comma there.)

Have y'all seen this article? I found it to be interesting especially in light that one of Vailey's questions last Friday was this very thing.

Greetings, all.  Is anyone considering contact tracing as a way to deploy staff to help local, statewide, or regional response to C-19?  Some have begun talking about this because of the seeming compatibility of library reference skill sets and the "contact tracer."
For the curious-minded, see this announced launch (New York) of a free, six-hour online training, for anyone worldwide.

The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health launched<https://now.ny.gov/page/m/2dedc928/5c95783a/450b5a59/d501bc1/3351641028/VEsA/?g=V6duBTpTVzRefN_OjLZWNZA> https://hub.jhu.edu/2020/05/11/free-contact-tracing-course-johns-hopkins/
a free online course to train contact tracers. This course is part of New York's large-scale effort to build an army of contact tracers. If you are interested in becoming part of New York's contract tracing efforts, learn more https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/get-involved-how-you-can-help
Wishing you all well,
