How to Call BS ON BURNOUT®: Swapping Myths & “Tricks” for Strategies that Work!

Description

In March 2023, the Chronicle of Higher Education said, “The Librarians Are Not OK”. Librarians are tasked with emotional labor, decreasing resources, and increasing demands. They may be experiencing reduced support systems in their workplace or community, and feel underappreciated or at least as if the community that relies on them doesn’t understand all that they contribute. And that’s just the work part, not to mention the life stress part.
