Dear Student Employees and Supervisors,

The Illinois Department of Children & Family Services has amended the Illinois Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. This new law mandates that all employees of a college or university have the responsibility to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect. As such, it is now legally required that all College employees (faculty, staff, administrators and student employees) certify their understanding of the mandated reporting requirements.

To increase your understanding of the mandated reporting requirements and acknowledge your mandated reporter status, all student employees must complete the online training listed below and return the Certification and Acknowledgment of Mandated Reporter Status form to Human Resources by October 15, 2014. 

·         Online Training - https://mr.dcfstraining.org/UserAuth/Login!loginPage.action. Click New User to register for a training account.  You will need your student ID number located on your ID card.

·         The acknowledgment may be found on the Human Resources website or at http://www.state.il.us/dcfs/docs/cants22.pdf.

Shift Coverage

Hello,

Now that there are lot less of you that obviously means there are less people to take shifts.  Please help each other out and take any extra shifts you can.  And just to inform you the rules of working here, you cannot work 7 days in a row as well as you cannot work more than 25 hours a week on campus, 20 hours a week if you are an international student.  So if you have another job on campus you have to keep this in mind if you are taking extra shifts.  Please keep these rules in mind while you are taking shifts.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Heidi

VHS DO NOT BELONG ON THE DESENSITIZER!

Please remember that you aren't supposed to put VHS on the desensitizer.  You will ruin it and ruin that patron's day and mine.

Thank you

Schedules

Hello!

The new schedules are up for the rest of the year.  Please take a look and let me know if you have any conflicts by Thursday at 4pm.

There are still extra shifts up on the substitution requests, PLEASE take them if you can!

#BannedBookSelfie

In honor of the American Library Association's Banned Books Week, the library staff and student assistants are participating in the #BannedBookSelfie campaign. Essentially, you pick your favorite banned book from the list using either the Banned/Challenged Classics list or the Top 100 Banned/Challenged list and either find it in our collection or bring your own copy to work with you.

Then we'll snap a picture of you reading your banned book and post it to the library's Instagram/Twitter/Facebook. If you're not following us you can find us on Instagram and Twitter at @oesterlelib and search for us by name on Facebook.

If you're interested in participating in #BannedBookSelife please let Heidi, Aimee, Lindsey, or Melissa know. Here are a couple examples:

Faculty and staff departmental charge for photocopies

If a faculty or staff member comes to the desk asking to charge photocopies to their department please give them a form from the "photocopy departmental charge request form" folder in the filing cabinet.  While they are doing that please get Jeanne or the staff member that is on the information services desk.

HELP!

Please take a look at the substitution requests and take any extra shifts you can!
