Abstract

The past two years have been frustrating and difficult in the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sources of misinformation have been rampant. For those of us who are native speakers of English, accurate and reliable COVID-19 information is abundant and easily accessible. Now, imagine you speak another language and only know some basic English. Your need for information is important for your ability to work, to keep your children safe, and to understand what is happening with COVID-19. Those of us who work in the information world can help our patrons by providing access to current and reliable COVID-19 facts in other languages.
