Chicago, IL

Chicago Public Library
Submitted by: Jean Petersen & Jason Nosek

  • The Central Library (Harold Washington Library Center) continues to be restructured; this has resulted in a merger of the Business, Science, and Techology Unit with the Government Publications Unit, which includes the PTRC
  • Due to the pandemic, we have continued to offer socially distanced PTRC assistance through virtual reference (email, chat, phone) and in-person assistance through screen mirroring
  • Programing has remained paused due to the pandemic and low staffing numbers
  • New manager of Business, Science, Technology & Government Department in late 2022
  • 2023 goals include:
    • Crosstraining of staff from the two previous units for the PTRC
    • Programming for the PTRC involving staff from the two previous units
    • Outreach highlighting the PTRC at Chicago’s Small Business Expos
