Registration is open for <strong>Emotions at Work: Examining Emotional Labor in Librarianship</strong>!</p>
<p>
Whether we’re calming a patron frustrated by fines or assisting a
harried student searching for sources, library work is full of emotion.
But what toll can this ‘need to be nice’ have on library staffers? Dr.
Miriam Matteson, a Kent State SLIS faculty member, and OHIONET’s own
Shelly Miller are conducting research on this very topic—the requirement
to display organizationally-prescribed emotions and the strategies used
to meet those expectations—and are eager to share their findings and
facilitate discussions among practitioners.</p>
<p>
Join them for this 90-minute webinar in which participants will have the opportunity to...</p>
<ul><li>
Develop a clearer understanding of the phenomenon of emotional labor</li></ul>
<ul><li>
Learn about the presenters’ research to date on the topic, including
<ul><li>
the overall evidence of emotional labor in the library world,</li><li>
different strategies at work for coping with the demands of organizationally-required emotional displays, and</li><li>
how those strategies can influence on measurable outcomes like job satisfaction and work withdrawal. </li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li>
Gain insights into recommendations to begin addressing this topic at all levels of their organizations.</li></ul>
