How to Beat the Burnout Phase
by Amber Boedigheimer
Burnout refers to a syndrome caused by work stress that has not been managed well. If you have ever experienced fatigue, increased mental distance from your job, feelings of negativism related to your job, and/or reduced professional worth, then you have most likely experienced a burnout phase, according to the World Health Organization.
Overcoming Burnout at Work
by Marianne Kay
I am easily excited and easily bored. I can achieve extraordinary results when working on something I'm passionate about. However, the intensity of effort that I put into it wears me out, so my success is inevitably followed by a period of feeling deflated, tired, and lost. Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with having good days and bad days and for productivity to fluctuate. The problem is, in corporate jobs, this pattern is rather inconvenient, because companies have their own highs and lows—and they are not always in sync with mine.

by Brandi Scardilli
The third U.S. Book Show, hosted by Publishers Weekly, was a hybrid 4-day event celebrating the role of libraries in spreading the love of reading—and stoking that passion for books with a parade of intriguing upcoming titles in various genres.

The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
by Heather Hedden
Foreword by Stephanie Lemieux
The Accidental Taxonomist is the most comprehensive guide available to the art and science of building information taxonomies. Heather Hedden—a leading taxonomy expert and instructor—walks readers through the process, displaying her trademark ability to present highly technical information in straightforward, comprehensive English.

In this fully revised third edition, Hedden adds an entirely new chapter on ontologies, emphasizes the SKOS model of concepts over the traditional thesaurus model of terms, and provides new insights into taxonomy development techniques. She presents fresh survey data; new screenshots and examples; and updated information on software, career opportunities, and resources for taxonomists.
