You know that working in a library can be stressful! People who do not understand about working in customer service jobs do not see how hard this job can be. When you add in all the details, fast-changing responsibilities, and ever-changing tasks – it’s just a lot!
We are sharing some links to material on our site, and then we are passing along a survey from a researcher looking for academic librarians to talk about burnout.
Use some of the information we have for you here to address stress BEFORE it becomes a problem!! Stress is a real issue in the profession, and it touches everyone. Take steps to address it, each day!
