From the article:
In early summer, Nicole Legnani, assistant professor of Spanish & Portuguese, anticipated a key hurdle in order to teach virtually in fall 2020. Legnani was planning her graduate seminar on colonial Spanish literature and the works of Sor Juana Inéz de la Cruz — the most celebrated female, Spanish-language writer of the 17th century.
Due to public safety restrictions related to the pandemic, Legnani knew the class might not be possible if students could not physically visit Princeton University Library’s Special Collections to examine its rare and exquisite 17th-century editions of Sor Juana’s works.
