The end of the term is rapidly approaching!  Please complete the following instructions as we prepare schedules for Finals Week and Winter Term.

1.      FINALS WEEK - All students are expected to work their regular work schedule through Saturday, November 19^th.  A finals week schedule is being prepared for Sunday, November 20^th through Wednesday, November 23^rd.  All student assistants are required to sign up to work a minimum of four hours during finals week.  The forms are on Heidi's desk in a folder on a display.  Please fill out your four hours by 5:00 on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8^th to sign up for your hours.

2.      WINTER TERM SCHEDULES - All student assistants who plan to work Winter Term will be assigned a work schedule before they leave for D-Term.  (If for any reason you don’t plan to work next term, please let Heidi know right away!!)   The schedule form should be completed to indicate when you will be available to work during Winter Term.  Please complete the appropriate form carefully and thoughtfully!  Also, remember that any form that does not leave enough hours for us to work with when assigning schedules will be returned for revision.  All forms should be given to Heidi by 5:00 on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8^th.

If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact Heidi or me.

New Staff

I am excited to announce that we will have a new Access Services Assistant (with primary responsibility for interlibrary loan) beginning on October 11. We had a competitive field of applicants, but we are happy to announce that Neena Jenkins will return to Oesterle Library in this position. For those of you who are new to the library this fall, Neena graduated from North Central this past June. She worked at the library during all four years at North Central, most recently as Student Coordinator. I know you will all help me in welcoming Neena back in this new role.
