The Center for Information and Communication Studies currently has an opening for one or two student assistants at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Research Library beginning
in March or April. This is an excellent opportunity for a student to gain experience in all aspects of special library operations. This student will support several functions in both the technical services department (e.g., shelving books, journals, and
reports, circulation tasks and document delivery and interlibrary loan) and reference services (e.g., staffing the service desk and assisting reference librarians with projects). The ORNL Research Library is currently involved in cataloging a large collection
of e-books, so the student can expect to work on this project. The student will also learn to run publication and citation metrics of ORNL researchers.
Preference will be given to a current SIS Masters student (U.S. citizen) who is at least 6 months away from graduation. A student who can work 15 to 20 hours per week is
preferred, with 10 hours being the minimum. Work can be arranged around the student's class schedule, but must be during the day, Monday through Friday.
If you are interested, please email Bobbie Suttles ([log in to unmask]),
420 Communications Building, 974-7909. Send a resume and indicate any current or upcoming on-campus positions. Students can only work 20 hours per week in positions paid by the University. Applications will be reviewed beginning March 14, 2016.
