A survey of ergonomics activities and programs in research libraries produced evidence of the degree to which libraries are creating formal organizational structures to address ergonomics. Data were gathered that describe whether libraries are providing ergonomics equipment and accessories, whether libraries are offering ergonomics training sessions, whether ergonomics training and activities are focused on technical services departments, and whether concerns about ergonomics have had an impact on job descriptions or office design. An overview of current awareness and trends is given and some promising ideas for addressing ergonomics issues are identified through a closer look at a few very active programs.
