I can review just about any paper in my field with confidence now. Another request landed in my inbox tonight, unpaid, invisible, due in two weeks. I keep doing it because the whole field falls apart if nobody does, but I'm tired of holding up something that never has my name on it.
More people experience this than they realize.
The work that keeps your field standing is unpaid, unseen, and quietly draining you.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
