Abstract

In organizations, which academic library is one of them, human relations (HR) is sine-qua-non for growth and development. HR is being used by successful organizations all over the world not only to grow their businesses, but also to make a big impact on the economy of their countries. The population includes all categories of library users at UNIMED, UNIZIK and YABATECH and FCE. Slovin's algorithm for sample size determination was used to pick a sample size of 384 respondents using the multivariate random sampling technique. Data was gathered via a questionnaire. To address the study research questions, the whole data obtained from 351 respondents was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The most important findings are: HR activities in academic libraries’ influence on the spread of COVID-19 in the country are low, while the level of management of COVID-19 in the country is relatively poor. Several problems were discovered to confront library users in the utilization of library resources toward the management of COVID-19, and recommendations were provided.
