Librarianship has changed drastically over the last decade, which has changed the daily job routines of librarians and staff, which can cause a great deal of stress. Technology enhancements, budget cuts, and diversification of patron service needs can negatively impact one's self worth, as staff question if they have the skills necessary to be successful. This type of ongoing stress can lead to a decline in overall job effectiveness and productivity. A proper self-care regimen can help ward off stress, improve one's health, and assist in navigating ongoing changes in librarianship.
