Slow Librarianship: A Community Practice
Slow Librarianship is a practice that evolved in response to academic hustle culture but applies to all areas of library work. Julia Glassman coined the term in 2017, and Meredith Farkas, inspired by Julia’s work, has been speaking and writing on the topic since. The term grew at the same time as other social movements, largely in the context of the pandemic. The core idea of valuing quality over quantity is timeless and transcends states of emergency.Slow Librarianship is a quality-over-quantity practice that evolved in response to academic hustle culture but applies to all areas of library work.
