Book Description
Where would a library be without its student employees? In academic libraries, the number of student employees, in real numbers, often exceeds the number of regular staff. They assist users, shelve materials, and work as security staff; many perform very technical and demanding work, or provide the coverage needed for long hours of access to collections and services (both physical and virtual). Motivated by their appreciation for these unsung heroes, Baldwin and Barkley cover the basics of good supervision, with specific reference to student employees in libraries: how to hire, how to fire, and everything in between. An unparalleled compendium of facts, advice, and checklists.

Book Description
Library administrators have taken the student work force for granted for a long time and are only now beginning to realize that this important group accounts for a significant portion of the operating budget. Baldwin describes the role of student employees and the supervisor, including hiring, orientation, and performance appraisal. He discusses some common problems as well as corrective discipline and termination procedures. A separate chapter is devoted to federal student- aid programs because of their role in student employment. The specific orientation of this well-organized handbook makes it essential for any supervisor of student employees.
