Days Off Work
If you need to miss work for any reason, you are required to:
Comp Time
Please submit requests for time off for weekend work at least one week in advance so that any scheduling conflicts may be addressed.
Professional Development
It is important for each of us to develop as professionals and to further our knowledge to better support faculty and students. With that in mind, some of you have reportedly attended some webinars recently that are unrelated to the work we do. Please only attend webinars that are relevant to your job and your role at the Levi Watkins Learning Center.
Statistics
You should still be using the Research Consultation Form in LibAnswers/RefAnalytics to record transactions with faculty. This should include introductions of databases or other resources, meetings via phone or email, departmental meetings attended, etc. A description of the transaction should be placed in the "Answer" box. If you encounter any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Outreach
Reach out to the department(s) you serve early each semester to inform them of new and/or useful library information and to remind them that we are here to help them. Please be sure to tell them about the Forms link on our homepage because this contains several forms that they may need throughout the semester.
Also, let them know about our new chatbot: Hornet the Chatbot.
You must seek and receive approval from your supervisor before displaying posters or exhibits in the LWLC. If you have any questions about these things, just let me know.
Research
You are encouraged to present your research at conferences, conventions, and other events that are relevant to our profession--and to practice your presentation before the Research Roundtable. Please let me know if you have any questions about presentations or publications.
Reports
Submit your monthly reports by the 4th of each month. Please include data in your reports that provide evidence of the work you're doing. For example, include pre-test and post-test scores to show that students are learning the concepts and search strategies that you're teaching them.
Collection Development
Inform your department(s) that materials may be requested by using the Materials Request Form. Faculty may want to select and request items before the Spring semester begins. Please select items to be ordered from GOBI and refer to the budget provided to you by Ms. Eaton. If you have any questions, please let me know.
