Welcome Student Assistants!  You are an important member of the West Chester University Libraries team and your work here is essential.  For some of you this may be a first job and for others just another in your work career.  But even if you've worked in a library before every workplace has its own customs and we hope that this guide will help you get to know your way around in the beginning and act as a quick reference once you get your footing.

Basic Expectations of the IMC:

• Be on time – we’re counting on you
• Be courteous – you represent the Library
• Be a team player – help co-workers, complete assigned tasks
• Be responsible – know and follow library policies & procedures
• If you don't know, ask - don't be afraid to ask when unsure of an answer or what to do

WCU FEDERAL WORK STUDY STUDENT EMPLOYMENT HANDBOOK

A few important things to note:

Dress Code- Casual but still respectable.  No offensive sayings on clothing.  This is a labor intensive position with a good amount of walking, reaching, bending and lifting, so dress accordingly.

Weather Emergency- If classes are cancelled due to a weather emergency you are not required to come to work.  If you can/want to work you may come in and work your hours, just call 610-436-3395 to let us know.  Otherwise we will be under the assumption that you will not be in.

Calling Out- If you are unable to work your scheduled shift for the day due to illness/emergency you must call 610-436-3395 and speak with Amanda, Ainsley, or Bobby to let them know you won't be in.  Please give at least 1 hour notice so that coverage can be found for the shift.
