One of our support staff members has indicated a strong interest in
selecting materials for the collection. As he has applied to library
school, we are giving him the opportunity to participate as a "Library
Liaison Intern" working with one of our librarians who will serve as a
mentor.
My colleague and I will be drafting a "job description" of sorts,
outlining his responsibilities. We think this is a good way to reward a
current staff member, use his knowledge and interest in his subject area
(music), and prepare him for work in the library profession.
My question is: has any library done something similar? This is new for
us, and I'm interested whether other institutions have experience in
this, and suggestions in general from the membership.
Many thanks, and I look forward to your comments.
Kim
