This project encompasses Distant Reader text mining of the responses to question 17 on the [US Academic Library Response to COVID19 Survey][1] conducted by Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe and Christine Wolff-Eisenberg. - [Distant Reader Carrel for 236 URLs on 2020-03-19][2] - [Distant Reader Carrel for 569 URLs on 2020-04-11][3] For this project we took the [survey responses][4] from Q17 and used Distant Reader to text mine the URLs provided by the library respondents. Preprocessing the data: if the respondents didn't provide a fully formed, complete url (missing protocol e.g. http or https, etc) we tried to resolve it agaisnst the information provided and then substituted the most complete URL. If respondents listed more than one URL we chose the one(s) most closely affiliated with the library and COVID-19. We removed duplicate URLs (so that if a library had submitted the same URL more than once when updating their response(s) to the survey) for question 17 so that we only targeted each URL once in each Distant Reader run. **Background:** In the survey respondents were prompted in the survey to list: *If available, website providing information for library users on library policies and procedures in light of COVID19* [Survey (https://tinyurl.com/covidlibrary)] [5]: Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe ([https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5129-4235][6]) and Christine Wolff-Eisenberg are gathering information on academic libraries in the United States and the response to COVID-19. Libraries were recruited to contribute to a collective understanding of how libraries are responding to the situation of the COVID19 pandemic. Respondents were prompted that if their policies/practices changed during COVID-19 pandemic to update their responses. Text mining for this project was performed using [Distant Reader][7].
