General Policies Manual for Student Assistants: Indiana State University Libraries. Revised.
Miller, Marsha; And Others
Designed to be given to new student assistants during a formal orientation program coordinated by Indiana State University's Department of Library Instruction and Orientation, this policy manual was prepared to help student library workers understand what the library expects of them. Following a brief introduction, the manual is divided into seven sections: (1) "Getting the Job...and Keeping It," which covers hiring, probation and dismissal, and evaluations; (2) "Work Schedules"; (3) "Time Sheets and Paychecks," which includes procedures for filling out student time sheets and a sample filled-out timesheet; (4) "On-the-Job Miscellany," which presents policies concerning breaks; job attire; socializing; eating, drinking, and smoking on duty; studying on duty; and visiting the work area while not on duty; (5) "Work Etiquette and Protocol," which provides guidelines for person-to-person interactions, telephone practices, clarifying a patron's request, and when to ask someone else; and (6) "Library Organization," which includes the administrative structure of the library and department functions. Several cartoons illustrate the text. A form for student acknowledgement of review policies and a summary of emergency procedures are also provided. (KM)
