The Mindful Librarian: Connecting the Practice of Mindfulness to Librarianship
Autor Richard Moniz, Joe Eshleman, Jo Henry, Howard Slutzky, Lisa Monizen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2015
The authors hope to be helpful in some small way towards improving the joy and quality of life that librarians and library science students experience in their personal lives and jobs. The loftier goal would be to create a new lens from which to view librarianship, having a transformative impact on readers, and opening a new dialog within the profession.
The topic of mindfulness is not new; it has been connected to various religious traditions in a wide variety of ways for centuries, most notably Buddhism. In the latter part of the 20th century, however, a secular version was popularized largely by the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn and his work on MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) at the University of Massachusetts’s Medical School.
The medical benefits and the overall quality of life improvements from its adoption have exploded in recent years, in particular, the last two decades which have seen mindfulness traditions incorporated into education to a greater degree and with very positive results.
- Presents the only current LIS book that covers this topic in a way that applies directly to librarians
- Provides a topic that will be appealing to librarians, as it speaks to the pressures of budget cuts and consumer culture being felt across the academy
- Seeks to improve the joy and quality of life that librarians and library science students experience in their personal lives and jobs
