I am so happy and excited! Everyone turned in their schedules before they were due! What a great start to the year! Let's keep it going!
Will everyone please do me a favor and check to make sure they have an electric timecard in their Merlin account? If you do not, contact myself or Belinda right away.
Thanks!

Substitue ASC Position Available
Obaid Khurram is working at an off campus internship this fall. Therefore, we have a substitute Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) position available for Fall Term and we are now accepting applications for this Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) position.
The ASC position responsibilities are outlined in the full position descriptions that is posted on the Student Assistant website under “Job Responsibilities.” Please be sure to read this description carefully if you are considering applying for this position! Student assistant must have completed a minimum of 2 terms of working at the library in order to be eligible to apply. All applicants must have a strong work record, be dependable, and have excellent customer services skills.
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. Please note that if the person that fulfills this temporary position maintains an excellent work record, they will be given first consideration for any future ASC openings. Specific hours to be shared by the three ASCs include:
Academic Terms
Monday – Thursday Saturday Sunday
5-9 p.m. 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. 12-3 p.m.
1-5:30 p.m. 3-6 p.m.
6-9 p.m.
Anyone wishing to apply for the temporary ASC position should email a letter of application to me that includes 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 Friday, September 14. Interviews will be conducted shortly thereafter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this position or the procedures for applying.

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
