Description
Doing more with less. Taking the reins off of your resources and pushing them to the max. Approaching problems as if you had infinite energies to spend. These paeans promote us to do our extreme best, but the stark truth is that limits do exist. We far too often miss the hidden labors that impact how much each of us can do. The labors vary based on individual diversity and life experiences. Using an intersectional lens and multiple examples, this talk will highlight what these hidden labors are and what actions, both technical and social, that we can do to support our patrons and colleagues to not only ease up on the bridled resources but promote greater inclusion and equity throughout libraries.
