Your finals week schedules are up on the website. Remember, finals schedule
starts Sunday, June 3rd and finishes Wednesday, June 6th.
As always, the beginning of Fall Term will be a busy time here at the library. In addition to all of the usual beginning of term activities, we will be busy hiring our new student assistants for the coming year. Therefore, Belinda has created a special schedule that will be for the first two weeks of Fall Term ONLY! (The specific dates of coverage for this schedule are September 10-23.) This schedule will allow us to keep all essential operations going during those first, very busy, weeks of the term. By the beginning of the third week, we will have hired our new student assistants and given them at least some beginning training. You will then begin a more “normal” schedule for the rest of the term. That “week 3 through week 10” schedule will be given to you during the second week of Fall Term.
ASCs and SCs, please note that your hours will NOT change after week 2. However, for the first two weeks, some ASCs will be working at the Information Service Desk with the Reference Services Librarian during some of their shifts rather than in the staff room. We will have just one other student assistant on duty during those ASC hours, and that student assistant will be at the Periodicals Desk.
As always, please be sure to see Belinda or Heidi on Monday, September 10th to let us know that you are back on campus and to confirm your schedule. Also, it is very important that we learn of any changes to your availability for Fall Term as soon as possible. If for any reason you decide that you will not be able to work the following schedule for September 10-23, please contact one of us immediately so that we can make other arrangements for these times!
You can find your schedule by going to the student assistant website, click on the student assistant contact information, then click on your name and move the calendar to the week of September 10th.
Please be sure to talk with us if you have questions/concerns!

This weekend: IMPORTANT!
Hello,
A few things you need to know about this weekend. First, timecards are
due Sunday at Midnight. This week we have very little time to prepare the
timecards. That means that we will not be calling you if you did fill it out
correctly or didn't sign it. We will not be taking care of you this week, so
get it done! Make sure your google calendars are correct as well! If you do
not do some of these things correctly, you may not get paid.
Second, we are closed Monday, don't come in! We are open on Saturday and
Sunday, so come in for your regular scheduled shifts!
Third, Voyager will be down starting Friday night until Sunday. There is a
chance it will be back up by 5pm on Sunday. During this time I need you to use
the manual form Aimee created on the student assistant website, one form is for
regular
Oesterle library materials and the other is for reserves.
Under no circumstances should you ever manually charge an I-Share item. There
should be NO I-SHARE ITEMS going out this weekend except for the purple band
books and the photocopies because you do not use the computer for these items.
All returned items, except for reserves, should go on the carts labeled
"returned items." Reserve items should be given to the staff to take care of.
Access students working this weekend: Do not shelve the items on the carts that
have these signs.
I hope you read every part of this because everything is important!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Information Services Desk Computer
Hello,
We have replaced the information services desk computer so that we don't have log in issues anymore. When you sign in please make sure, before you log into Voyager that your printer is set up properly. Please go to the "Start" menu, select "Devices and Printers," right click over "Circulation Receipt Printer" and set it as your default printer. Then open Voyager. The setting on the printer now is just print out just the size of the receipt, so after you print, push the "Feed" button on the receipt printer just enough to get enough paper to be able to rip the receipt off without cutting off any of the text.
Let me know if you have any questions.

daytime desk hours as available. We will
need to hire a large number of new student assistants during those two weeks,
and we will be depending on all of you to help us keep operations running while
we do that hiring! Early in the second
week of the term you will receive a new work schedule that will be in effect
for weeks 3-10.
You should be complete the appropriate schedule on this page to indicate when you will be available to work during those first two weeks of Fall
Term. Please complete the form carefully

4. FINALS
WEEK - All student assistants are expected to work their regular work schedule

Applications for ASC and SC Positions
TO: Oesterle Library Student Assistants
FROM: Belinda Cheek, Coordinator of the Student Assistant Program
RE: Applications for One Student Coordinator Position and Two Assistant Student Coordinator Positions
DATE: February 7, 2012
Lizzie Schultz will be graduating at the end of Winter Term, and thus we will have an open Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) position for Spring Term. In addition Becky Wagoner and Ryan Wolf will be graduating in June. This will create an open Student Coordinator (SC) position as of June, and an additional ASC position in the fall. Congratulations to all of these students!
We are now accepting applications for two Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) positions. One position will have a start date of March 26th, and the other will begin in September. We are also now accepting applications for one Student Coordinator (SC) position with a start date of June 11th.
The SC and ASC positions have different responsibilities. These are outlined in the full position descriptions that are posted on the Student Assistant website under “Job Responsibilities.” Please be sure to read these descriptions carefully if you are considering applying for either of these positions! Minimally, a student assistant must have completed 2 terms of working at the library (as of the end of Winter Term) in order to be eligible to apply. All applicants must have a strong work record, be dependable, and have excellent customer services skills.
ASC Positions:
There is no increase in salary level for ASC positions. However, as these positions require additional responsibilities, they are a great addition to your resume! When asked to do letters of recommendations for students in these positions, we are always careful to indicate the additional responsibilities and the fact that the student was selected for one of just 3 positions. Please keep in mind that these positions require working 1-2 nights per week, a potential Saturday shift, and a 3 hour shift on Sunday. Assistant Student Coordinators are also allowed to pick up sub hours for Information Services Desk and Periodicals desk shifts. ASC positions do not require summer or December Term hours. Specific hours to be shared by the three ASCs include:
Academic Terms
Monday – Thursday 5-9 p.m.
Saturday 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 1-5:30 p.m
Sunday Noon-3 p.m, 3-6 p.m., and 6-9 p.m.
SC Positions:
The salary level for an SC is $10.30 per hour. Please remember that SCs are expected to work very specific hours (which include both summer and December Term hours). Student Coordinators are only allowed to work and sub for SC hours. Specific hours to be shared by the two SCs include:
Academic Terms
Monday – Thursday 9-Midnight
Friday 5-8 p.m.
Sunday 9-Midnight
December Term
Monday – Thursday 5-9:30 p.m.
Saturday 9:30-4
Summer Term
Monday – Thursday 5-9:30 p.m.
Friday 5-8 p.m.
Saturday 8:30-1 p.m. and 1-5:30 p.m.
Sunday 5-9:30 p.m.
Anyone wishing to apply for an ASC or SC position should email a letter of application to me that includes the position you are applying for, the number of terms you have worked, areas in which you have worked, and reasons you feel especially qualified for the position.
The deadline for applying is Noon on Wednesday, February 15. Interviews will be conducted shortly thereafter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding these positions or the procedures for applying.

Reminder: Communicate!
Hi!
I hope this first week back to school has been fantastic for you all. This is just a little reminder to communicate. I have had two instances today of people telling me they spoke with someone here about a situation that I should have known about. One was about lost books on someone's account and the other was about a personal item being returned in the bookdrop. Please be sure to communicate with the appropriate people so that we can better serve the patrons.
Thanks,
Heidi

Welcome Back!
I hope all of your breaks were fantastic and you are revved up to be back at school! I know I am excited to see all of you.
Please remember that sometime today we need you to come in and confirm your schedule. Do this by 5pm today, otherwise it may be a while before we can have it officially fixed.
While you were gone we changed the video and cd collection. Most of the videos have been integrated into the stacks, they still have the 1 week check out time but they are in with the books now. All videos that have to do with film or music are in the new Giere, which is located at the top of the stairs in the main lobby. All cds have been moved the same place as well. You know that they belong there while shelving because the call number starts with the word GIERE.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Heidi
