Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how the shift work model impacts library workers and if the model is necessary and sustainable for the future. Given the potential for emotional exhaustion and burnout, the academic library needs to be able to meet student needs and continue to be mindful of employee health. The article explores the challenges of shift work, including late shifts, as academic libraries adapt to a post-pandemic world. A mixed methods survey was distributed to library staff, to self-assess levels of emotional exhaustion, work-life balance, and sleep.
