Join us at the monthly eSalon! These director-only casual, unstructured discussions will have a general topic each month for attendees to share, brainstorm, and learn from each other. The topics will be geared to the unique needs of those in academic health sciences library leadership and facilitated by AAHSL members. Attendance is optional, free, and open to all AASHL directors.

September 2025 Topic: Building Psychological Safety in Academic Health Sciences Libraries

Facilitator: Tamara Nelson, MLIS, EdS, AHIP, Director of Library User Experience & Engagement, MUSC Libraries, Department of Learning Commons

Description: 

Psychological safety is the foundation of inclusive, innovative, and high-performing organizations. In academic health sciences libraries, cultivating an environment where individuals feel safe to share ideas, take risks, and engage authentically is essential to leadership and organizational success. This eSalon will explore what psychological safety looks like in practice, why it matters for both individuals and teams, and how leaders can intentionally foster trust, openness, and belonging. Through interactive discussion and shared experiences, participants will leave with practical strategies to strengthen psychological safety within their own institutions and professional communities.
