In this article, I examine how a paper containing significant inaccuracies about the people organising the online …

Resiliency Strategies For Brightly Burning Librarians, Christine Andresen, Irene Lubker

MUSC Conference Presentations

Purpose: Librarianship is a helping profession which means caring is one of our superpowers, yet also makes us more likely to cross our own boundaries in our efforts to support our users, leaving us vulnerable to burnout. Our best intentions, fears of missing out, and need to prove our value often drive us to the limits of our abilities to sustain the levels of service we provide. This presentation will prepare librarians with strategies to promote overall well-being and foster resiliency.

Description: Health sciences librarians often happily agree to new, exciting opportunities, only to find that our best intentions end …
