Popis: In this chapter, we describe our experiences during the first 6 months of the COVID-19-pandemic, as three teaching librarians at the University of Gothenburg, when almost all teaching at the University was transferred to an online format. Our purpose is to identify factors that seem to have an impact on the outcomes of academic librarians’ teaching after this rapid transition. We are doing this by presenting three teaching cases, a successful one and two unsuccessful ones, including the choices we made, the reasons for these choices, and what we have learned from this regarding pedagogical approaches, resources, and digital tools. By comparing these cases, we have identified three factors that seem to have an impact: the level of active learning during the library teaching sessions, the time available to librarians for choosing, learning about and using digital tools online, and working relationships between teaching librarians and course coordinators.
