[LIBRARYDIR] On call or sub positions?

Tue Mar 12 14:47:15 PDT 2019

We also gave up on work study students several years ago.  The time it took to train and supervise them was not worth the work we got from them.

We have an adjunct librarian who is sometimes able to work extra hours.  For example our full-time morning/afternoon librarian is out of the country indefinitely for a family emergency, so the adjunct is working five hours a day instead of three.  Once we are staffed again, I juggle his hours so by year end he has worked the correct number of contact hours.

I've been relying on my classified circ staff to work alone a lot but make sure I am available to help with reference.  I also fill in when there are other holes.  Because of a current vacancy I've been covering my evening librarian's meal break, but she has been working through her late evening break and Sunday breaks and meal.  Not good.  I have her keep track of the extra time and we work it out later.

Hello all,
We are facing some staffing crunches at RTC and find our work study students are not a reliable stopgap all the time. Do you ever use on-call or substitute library help? Not even talking about librarians here.....just technical or desk support staff. If you do, I would love to know how it works for your college. I am trying to build up some ideas before I approach our HR department.

Thanks

Cheyenne M. Roduin
