Systematic Review of Libraries and Financial Management Practices Amidst COVID-19

This paper conducts a systematic review aimed at examining the practices of library information technology and financial management during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the literature extensively covers library-related topics, there is a notable gap in understanding the technological challenges and financial management practices during the pandemic. This study emphasizes the urgent need for resilience strategies against pandemics such as COVID-19, highlighting the limited research on coping strategies and their effectiveness. By utilizing conceptual model theory as a framework, this study systematically reviews the relevant literature from reputable databases to comprehensively address the complexities of the topic. The research involved searching five databases: Library and Information Science (Ebscohost), Library and Information Science Technology (LISTA), Sabinet, Web of Science (WoS), and Google Scholar. The results highlight the significant impacts of the pandemic on risk factors and suggest innovative approaches to sustain libraries and financial management practices. This study emphasizes the need for further research to develop novel methods of pandemic risk education to effectively address emerging challenges.
