| Abstract: | Academic library administrators at branch campuses face a variety of issues at both the local level and within their larger institutions. In such busy environments, the lessons of "slow librarianship," which emphasizes reducing urgency and supporting employee wellbeing, could benefit supervisors and their staff. To date, there has not been much written about slow library management, though considering its implementation raises interesting questions. There are existing concepts within management, such as using assessment to identify core services, that might assist administrators seeking to slow down their practices. In all cases, however, supervisors must remain accountable to their employees. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
