Abstract

Covid-19 led to a dramatic change in the academic library work environment, with many workers shifting to a hybrid work schedule once they returned to in person work. The authors describe the impact of this schedule shift through the novel use of the socio-ecological model. The socio-ecological model looks at the impact of choices through varying circles or levels. The authors discuss the individual, interpersonal, community, and societal levels of impact that the switch to hybrid work had within their context and discuss their role as unit leaders and the decisions made to address these varying impacts.
