Meet the Library Student Assistants for Spring 2008

Each semester Jarrett Library employs many student workers and Spring 2008 is no different. Twenty students currently work in the library in the Access Services Department (checking in and out materials, shelving, etc.), in the Reference Services Department (directing students to correct materials, answering reference questions, etc.), the Technical Services Department (adding spine labels to books, checking in periodicals, etc.) or Library Administration (assisting the Director in the archives, collection development, and other projects).

Of course, all student workers are expected to be serious, quiet and always professional.

Okay, maybe not but the student assistants do work hard and they are invaluable in keeping the library going.

"Could we run the library without our student workers? Absolutely not," stated Cynthia Peterson, Director of Library Services. "Student workers do many things that are essential to the smooth running of the library and as a result they free up the fulltime staff to work on other matters. One example is getting the books reshelved - if we had to spend our time shelving books we couldn't be at the desk to check out materials, or behind the scenes cataloging and processing materials. Our services would be greatly curtailed, as would our hours just due to that one activity."

Students assistants for Spring 2008 are:

Access Services: Amy Ramirez, April Ruhl, Austin Guidry, Courtney Charles, Danay Robinson, Justin Fattig, Mercy Manhanga, Nicole Assam, Randi Ayers, Zachary Spencer, Ricky Waller, Jeremiah Pojah, Kim Barker, and Manisha Western.

Technical Services: Britanny Stovall

Reference Services: Sarah Samuelson, Adrian LeDay, Katy Chalker

Administration: Katy Chalker

Black History Month Display: The Buffalo Soldiers

February is Black History Month and Jarrett Library has put up its annual display. This year the theme deals with the "Buffalo Soldiers." The "Buffalo Soldiers" were one of the first six all African American Army regiments created by Congress in 1866. Four of the regiments were infantry and two were cavalry. Cheyenne warriors, out of respect for the fighting abilities, gave the 10th Cavalry the nickname "Buffalo Soldiers" in 1867. Eventually all African American soldiers were referred to as "Buffalo Soldiers." The "Buffalo Soldiers" were sent to the outposts that were the furthest from civilization in areas where the weather and terrain were quite harsh. Mexican revolutionaries, outlaws, comancheros, cattle rustlers, and hostile Native Americans were just a few of the groups they were sent to subdue and/or fight. They also carried out many activities that allowed the west to be settled - mapping of the west, stringing telegraph wi

Welcome Back!

Image
Welcome back for the Spring 2018 semester.  Because of the way the school calendar is laid out at the beginning we wanted to clarify our hours through the first week of classes.  As most of you know classes will not actually begin until January 16th which is a Tuesday.  This is due to the Martin Luther King Holiday on the 15th.  Because of it falling outside of the regular semester we will not be open later on that day.  The first day of library hours will be the 16th. As usual, the Library will only be open until 9 PM that first week of classes.  So the hours for the 16th-18th will be 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.  As per our policy the doors will be locked 10 minutes before closing time, so if you need to come by make sure you are in the library by 8:50 p.m.  The hours on the 19th will be 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.  Regular hours will resume on Saturday, January 20th. As a reminder, our regular hours are: Sunday:  4:00 PM - Midnight Monday-Thursday:  7:30 AM - Midnight Friday:  7:30 A
