The Psychological Contract and The Library Worker

Librarianship is on the frontlines in the battle for intellectual freedom. How does that affect library workers' mental, physical, and professional well-being? Presentation attendees will examine three interrelated topics impacting today's library employees: the psychological contract, workplace violence, and mental health. Compassion fatigue and self-care techniques will also be discussed.
