One-Person Libraries: a professional inclusion challenge

Abstract

IFLA's theme "Let’s work together for the future" incites us to unite our forces, to connect and to include. In that sense, we are mostly talking about including patrons to our libraries, whether they are physical or digital. But what about the inclusion of librarians themselves?

Around the world, a majority of librarians work solo. I have myself been in that situation, and it taught me methods to stay in touch with my colleagues, organize my work, remain up to date with the professional ways, and take care of myself. This poster will try to share some of these tips, as well as begin the process of creating links between people through a Trello page.
