COVID-19 has presented an enormous challenge to libraries and librarians. The stress on policies and work habits began during the initial spread of the virus, when most libraries remained open, some with restrictions. These libraries had to figure out how to enforce social-distancing policies in a space that is open to everyone and used to trying to get people through the doors, not keep them at a distance. Then, as many libraries closed, the challenge grew: how to maintain as many programs and services as possible while in quarantine, and that were for the fortunate staff who work in libraries that did close. Many stayed open much longer than advisable or have re-opened for curbside checkout too soon, putting both their patrons and their staff at risk. 

Hence, the Surigao del Sur State University Cantilan Campus Library promotes remote services that will help students and faculty of institution in their needed information. There are 3 online library services offered;
