Slow Librarianship: Reflections and Practices
$250.00
Dates: September 7 - October 4Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
Slow Librarianship is about working with intention, sustainability, and reflective care within the realities of academic library work. We believe slow librarianship is an approach usable by all librarians, even, and especially, as small daily practices. Co-developed by the editor and two contributors of the recently published Slow Librarianship: Reflections and Practices, this four-week course moves from foundational readings and shared definitions toward applied practices.
Each week combines readings, discussion, and reflective activities in an asynchronous format. Participants will explore slow librarianship not as an abstract theory but as adaptable, practical approaches to everyday work, across roles and departments.
