Have you ever found yourself weighed down as a result of saying “Yes!” too often at work? Join us for a virtual conversation on “Resisting Overcommitment”! Register for the ACRL Instruction Section\u00a0VEC Current Issues Discussion Forum, featuring discussion moderator\u00a0Katrina\u00a0Spencer, Librarian for African American & African Studies at the University of Virginia. The webinar will take place on\u00a0Wednesday, June 15, from 1:00 to 2:15 PM CDT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As ours is a service role which incorporates instruction and engagement with a variety of publics, library workers can find ourselves committed to a broad swath of projects and stretched a bit too thin. This session will invite participants to discuss recognizing signs of overcommitment and strategies for avoiding it.\u00a0This discussion is important in a profession in which burnout is rampant in the best of times and as we enter the third year of a pandemic whose uncertainties challenge our mental health. The session is aimed at teaching each other to exercise boundary-setting practices that preserve our wellness, capacities for compassion, and work-life balance.<\/p>\n This virtual discussion is\u00a0free and open to all. Please be aware that the speaker is seeking financial support; for more details, see the full announcement here<\/a>.\u00a0A recording will be made available after the session to all registrants.<\/p>\n Register here<\/a> now, as\u00a0space is limited.
