Reference+Assistant+Responsibilities

**Reference Student Assistant Responsibilities**
1. Be courteous and approachable. Wear a reference student assistant "name" tag so everyone knows you can help them. 2. Ask librarians for help when you need it. Don't send anyone away without an answer to their question. 3. Walk around the floor at least once every hour. Push in chairs, pick up paper, fix computers, and see if anyone needs help. 4. Complete the "assignment of the week" (if there is one) to further your knowledge of library sources and develop your research skills. These assignments will usually be things like completing the library tutorial, completing LC Easy, or some other project to help you learn more library research skills. 5. Work on special projects as you are assigned them. Check your inbox each day for projects. 6. Don't work on your personal homework at work unless it involves doing library research for your class assignments (that will help you practice using library resources, so it is allowed if you have free time without other projects). 7. Please don't check Facebook, MySpace, or other non-work websites while you are working (unless you are showing people how to sign up for the Kimbel Library Facebook group, of course).
