Managing Student Employees/Volunteers in Libraries
April 13-14, 2010.
E-forum starts at 9 AM Eastern, 8 AM Central, 7 AM Mountain, and 6 AM
Pacific time and runs until 5 PM Eastern, 4 PM
Central, 3 PM Mountain, and 2 PM Pacific time
Moderated by: Judy Quist, University of New Hampshire
Interested in learning how other libraries manage their student
employees and volunteers? Whether you work in a public or academic
setting, many libraries are dependent on part-time employees to support
their public service desks and stacks maintenance. Join us for a
discussion about the rewards and challenges that come from supervising a
student/volunteer workforce. We'll look at communication techniques,
recognition programs, disciplinary strategies, and more. Bring your
success stories, as well as any questions you have about how you could
improve your system of managing these valuable members of our workforce.
Judy Quist is the Assistant Loan Dept. Manager and Stacks Supervisor at
the University of New Hampshire Dimond Library in Durham, NH. She helps
lead the hiring, training, scheduling and supervising of 60+ work-study
students who split their 10-hour work week between assisting patrons at
public service desks and maintaining the collections in the library
stacks. She is one of the founders of the "Loan Bonus Bucks" recognition
program for their student workforce. Judy also acts as co-Chair for the
Dimond Library's Staff Development Committee and sits on the
Professional, Administrative and Technical Staff Council, which provides
a voice for staff manager concerns to the University President. She
holds a Master of Nonprofit Management degree from Regis University in
Colorado.
*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum/index.cfm
*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
