Information for Students Applying for Library Jobs

How to apply

• We require two application forms: the Student Employment Application and the Library's Employment Application Supplement.
• Pick up the forms at the Career Center (Student Academic Center -- SAC 2221).
• At the Career Center you may also read the Library's Student Employment Announcement forms. These describe the different kinds of Library jobs. Some are office-type jobs, and some are jobs that involve helping people use the Library. Apply for the jobs that best fit your interests, experience, and schedule.
• After you complete the applications, take them to the Library Administrative Offices (Merrill Learning Center Room MW20).

     The Career Center's hours are:

• Fall and Spring Semester:  Monday-Friday --- 9am-4pm
• Summer:  Monday-Friday --- 10am-2pm

     The Library Administrative Offices' hours are:

• Monday-Friday --- 8am-4pm

How will I know if I will be interviewed?
     After you fill out your applications, Library supervisors will read them. If your qualifications, interests, and schedule match a particular job, the supervisor will contact you for an interview.

What if no one contacts me for an interview?
     The Library receives many applications. Not all students who apply are contacted for an interview. Most hiring is done early in the Fall semester. If you are not interviewed or hired, the Library Administrative Offices will inform you by the end of the fourth week of the semester. The Library Administrative Offices will also hold your application in case any new openings occur.

What should I do if I am not hired?
     If you are not hired the first semester you applied and you are still interested in working in the Library, we strongly recommend that you submit new applications each semester so we know your current schedule and know you are still interested in our jobs.

I still have some questions.
     Ask staff in the Library Administrative Offices, Room MW20.
