Summary:
"'The 360 Librarian' defines a framework for practicing librarianship with critical reflection, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. It can help you become more purposeful in your daily interactions with students, faculty, and staff, and create pathways to authentic engagement.

Mindful Practice 2. Emotional Awareness 3. Engaged Communication 4. Empathetic Reflection and Action 5. Reassurance.
