Bobst Student Orientation

When students become new employees of Access Services at Bobst Library, they join more than a department. They become part of a wider team that serves as the face of the library for its patrons. It is no small task to provide this service -- we realized new employees needed an efficient and understandable introduction to their jobs. The Access Services Student Employee Orientation Work Group decided a video presentation was the best way to convey that information.

This presentation takes just over 10 minutes to watch, but hours of preparation went into creating it. We narrowed the focus to touch key issues that are important to new student employees and then developed the presentation to be clear, informative and engaging. We hope by the end of the presentation, all new student employees will be better prepared to contribute to the Access Services mission.

Access Services supervisors are welcomed to share this presentation with their student workers that are returning in the Spring 2010.
