The REALM Project is convening individuals from Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), OCLC Inc.

This project extends the guidance available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by providing information that is specifically relevant to LAM institutions. Given that LAM institutions work with physical materials that are often circulated among the public, LAM institutions have unique concerns about how they can optimize their operations while minimizing the potential for spreading the Coronavirus. This evaluation will be focused on understanding the extent to which the professionals from LAM institutions have found that the REALM Project’s research test results and toolkit resources have met their needs. Data will be collected through a survey of organizations that have used the test results and toolkit developed by the REALM project and focus groups representing members of the museum and archive community who have not been engaged with the project. The evaluation is intended to provide information to OCLC and IMLS around the usefulness of the scientific information shared to the LAM community as well as the effectiveness of its distribution.
