Chapters from practicing academic, public, school, special
librarians, LIS faculty in the United States to share practical
how-to chapters on managing stress as working librarians. Creative
methods of diffusing stress were selected that were adaptive to
various types of libraries and job descriptions: twenty-seven
chapters written by one or two authors: one chapter of 2,500-3500
words or two shorter chapters equaling 2,500-3,500 were compiled
from thirty-two contributors. The anthology is divided into: Part
I: Defusing and Reducing Conflict at Work, Part II: Laughter and
Fun in The Library-It Can Be Done, Part III: Making Healthy Choices
to Manage Stress, Part IV: Programming Your Stress Away, Part V:
Balancing Work and Personal Stress, Part VI: Time to Teach, Lead,
Complete Tenure and Supervise, Part VII: Dealing with Stress Alone,
Part VIII: Easing Stress on a Budget: Low Cost Ideas Librarians Can
Do, Part IX: Job Juggling and Hunting for Librarians After Layoffs,
Moving, and Retiring. With budget and staff cuts, increasingly
diverse patrons, rapidly changing technology, librarians have
stressful jobs and it is hoped this anthology helps meet the
current gap in the literature on the topic.
