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 11, 2010


There are several matters that we must take care of before the term ends. Please read this memo and all attachments 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 4th 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 your Fall Term schedule. If for any reason you do not plan to return in the fall, please fill out this 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.

The form should be completed 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 20th.

4. FINALS WEEK - All student assistants are expected to work their regular work schedule through Saturday, June 5th. A finals week schedule is being prepared for Sunday, June 6th through Wednesday, June 9th. 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 20th to sign up for your hours.

Summer Positions Reminder

I am just writing to remind you that if you want to apply for the summer positions you need to fill out this form by 5:00pm this Monday!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Security

Hi Student Assistants! We’re asking all of you to take a good look at the orange campus safety bulletin posted by the mailboxes. There will also be copies placed at the ISD and Periodicals desk. If you should see this person anywhere in the library please let someone on the library staff know so we can handle the situation. Please feel free to use the Chat with a Librarian link on the library homepage, as well, if that proves to be a more appropriate mode of communication.

We’re also going to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we have panic buttons at the ISD and Periodicals desk. Please only use these in extreme emergency situations when there is no other mode of communication available, as they ring directly into the alarm system which immediately contacts both campus safety and the Naperville Police. Not that we anticipate ever having to use these panic buttons, but it’s always a good idea to know where they are and how to use them. Please make sure to let Heidi know if you have any questions about this.

Another reminder is that campus safety is always available to escort you back to your dorm or car if you feel uncomfortable walking by yourself at night. And if you ever feel uncomfortable about a situation please don’t hesitate to bring it to the attention of any of the library staff.

Thanks for your cooperation and let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
