The British and Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) carried out a survey of BIALL members during May 2020 in order to gain a view, at a point in time, of the impact of Covid-19.1 National lockdowns in both the United Kingdom and Ireland had come into force in March 2020. The survey was a way of gauging how the legal information community was responding to the challenges and changing circumstances brought about as a result of the pandemic. This brief introduction by Karen Brown, President of BIALL, sets the scene for the results of the survey which appear in the pages that follow.2
1 N.B. The term COVID-19 is the convention used in the survey. However, this introduction follows an approach used in other articles published in this journal by referring to the pandemic in lower case as Covid-19.
2 The full results of the survey were published on the BIALL website at an earlier stage in 2020, available to BIALL members only: https://biall.org.uk/ For reasons of confidentiality some pages of the survey have not been included in this published version (ie. pages 20–21 and 23–24).
