🚨 New in C&RL: “Interventions for Reducing, Preventing, or Overcoming Librarian Burnout: A Scoping Review” The study shows a major shift from individual “self-care” fixes toward organizational responsibility and healthier work cultures. Read it online for free: bit.ly/crl-871-20
New article: Interventions for reducing, preventing, or overcoming librarian burnout: A scoping review.Authors: Natalie Logue, Jessica C. Garner, and Stephanie Hendren. 

This scoping review categorizes the interventions discussed or explored among academic librarians to address the issue of burnout. Through a scoping review of the literature going back as far as 1982, the pattern of interventions suggests a strong emphasis on the individual managing their burnout through personal actions. However, in more recent years there has been a significant increase in the suggestion of organizations taking responsibility to reduce rates of burnout. More quantitative research is needed before specific interventions can be identified as effective.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
