CHICAGO—Join Core for the webinar "Best of Core Forum: Burnout in Libraries; A Research & Advocacy Panel" on February 20, 2024, at 1 p.m. CT. In this panel discussion, participants will discuss burnout in libraries as researched and witnessed in both academic and public institutions. Burnout is as persistent a topic in libraries as it is a concern for the people who work in them. Building on the scholarship and discussions around vocational awe, this panel will be equal parts research and advocacy. We will look at how and why burnout is manifesting in library staff so pervasively, as well as some ideas for changing our workplaces to mitigate, ameliorate, and prevent further harm.
