Abstract
2021 was the year we got to grips with acknowledging that the COVID-19 pandemic was here for the long haul. While 2020 gave us the added impetus for pivoting to a digital first mode of operations, 2021 helped us strengthen our alignment to our strategic pillars of digital transformation, sustainable living, and growth in Asia. Continuing the tradition of students’ past, the results of the 2022 SMUSA survey reaffirmed that many of our students (82% of the respondents) agreed that the libraries helped them positively in their studies and 75% of the respondents agreed that the libraries is a place where they feel connected to university life. This was especially heartwarming given that this cohort had been affected by the restrictive measures imposed due to Covid, and hence their use of the spaces was severely curtailed.
