Stress Management in the Library Workplace

February 13, 2009 · Posted in Libraries, Library Staff, Time Management

Yesterday I attended a MaintainIT webinar – Using MaintainIT Resources for Technology Training, where they shared some useful information and links. One of the sites was Infopeople, a nonprofit that archives their presentations and handouts and makes them available under a Creative Commons license!

As I was exploring I came across materials for a previous workshop - Stress Management in the Library Workplace. There are a lot of workshops listed but since my post – Library usage will go up during a recession – management are you really prepared? is still getting a lot of hits, I thought I’d share this one specifically. You can download the PowerPoint presentation, some exercise and these handouts:

The “Bakers Dozen” – How to Reduce Stress
Relieving Stress through Exercise
Stress Relief through Nutrition
Stress Relief and Sleeping Habits – 10 Tips for Better Sleep
Symptoms of Stress and Causes of Stress
Seven Quick Tips for Time Management

What is Transliteracy?
I attempt to answer some questions about transliteracy including what is it, in my Librarian by Day blog post – Defining Transliteracy I have been asked this question many times by librarians so I am way overdue for this post.
