| Beyond Self-Care in Libraries: Supporting Ourselves Through Real Change |
|
by Abigail L. Phillips
|
| In our everyday work, we are skilled at and experts on meeting the needs of our patrons and communities. In the LIS practitioner literature and scholarship, the focus is typically on the needs of our patrons, how to improve our patron services, and innovative approaches to assisting patrons. But it is critical that we give attention to the services we provide (or should provide) ourselves as information professionals. Whether working the circulation desk or planning and conducting children's programming, we offer so much of ourselves, mentally and emotionally. |
