  4. Intro/Background - Delta • Work as a team “managing” student assistants together • One librarian coordinates hiring and training • Get referrals from Student Employment Office • Students work at Reference desk and/or Archives • Also have students working in Circulation but hired/trained separately by another staff member

Intro/Background - CSC • Previously - every student who wanted a job, Got One • Since Jan ’10 - cut the student staff by 35% • Every student does every job (Exceptions: ILL & Technical Services) • What do other Institution’s students do? (Regardless of Department) • How much time is involved in training?

  6. The Survey • We used Survey Monkey with Total of 524 Respondents * • The Survey was Divided into the Following Categories: • General • Circulation • Interlibrary Loan • Reference • Technical Services/Acquisitions * Not every respondent answered every question
