The REopening Archives, Libraries, and Museums (REALM) Project has been testing how long the virus that causes COVID-19 remains detectable on various library surfaces and materials.
It recently published a systematic literature review of current research on how the virus spreads, its survival on materials and surfaces, and the effectiveness of various prevention and decontamination measures.
It has also published a series of toolkits to help libraries with reopening plans and protect public health.
REALM is a collaboration between OCLC, an international library services cooperative, the US government agency Institute of Museum and Library Services, and Battelle, an R&D organization.
Further details and results from previous tests are available on the OCLC REALM Project website.
