summer position open

Hello!

We just opened up a position for the summer term (June 11-August 3) for 15 hours a week.  If you are interested please email Belinda that you would like it, what your availability would be, and if you have any other job on campus by Friday at noon. 

Thank you,

Heidi

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!

 

Heidi

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.

Heidi

Finals Week

The finals week schedules are up on the website.  You can look at them by either selecting your personal schedule or the department schedules and moving them to June 2nd-6th.

I have put up two shifts that need coverage during that time, if you are interested.

Let me know if you have any questions,
Heidi

End-of-Term Matters

TO:                  Oesterle Library Student Assistants

FROM:            Belinda Cheek, Coordinator of the Student Assistant Program

RE:                  End-of-Term Matters

DATE:             May 8, 2012

There are several matters that we must take care of before the term ends.  Please read this memo carefully!

1.            All supervisors will be completing performance evaluations for each of the student assistants that work in their unit.  Your supervisor(s) will meet with you by June 1^st to discuss your evaluation.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this process.

2.            We need to know whether or not you are planning to return to North Central and your position at the library in the fall.  If you are returning, please complete a Fall Term schedule as indicated below.  If for any reason you do not plan to return in the fall, please fill out the “Will not be returning to Oesterle” form to let us know your intentions as soon as possible!

3.            FALL TERM SCHEDULES - All of you who do plan to return to work Fall Term will be assigned a work schedule before you leave for the summer.  That work schedule will be for the first two weeks of the term only.  Priority during that time will be given to covering all night and weekend desk hours, and then 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 and thoughtfully!  Also, remember that if you submit a schedule that that does not leave sufficient hours for us to work with when assigning schedules, the form will be returned to you for revision!  All forms should be given to Heidi by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, MAY 17^th.

4.         FINALS WEEK - All student assistants are expected to work their regular work schedule through Saturday, June 2^nd.  A finals week schedule is being prepared for Sunday, June 3^rd through Wednesday, June 6^th.  All student assistants are required to sign up to work a minimum of four hours during finals week.  Please see Heidi by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, MAY 17^th to sign up for your hours.

Student Assistant Picnic!

REMINDER: DISCHARGE ITEMS!

Hello,

I have been getting more than a few reports that when people return items they are not being discharged from their accounts.  Please be sure to do this, it is one of the most important and easiest tasks you have as a student on the information services desk.  DISCHARGE THEM!

Thanks,
Heidi
