Featured Review
Library Journal, Starred Review
She examines the basics: building the case for student workers in your library, designing the position, drafting the job description, and preparing for the hiring process; then walks you through advertising the position, recruiting the right candidates, and interviewing effectively. Here is the practical advice you need to recruit, hire, orient and train student workers -- as well as motivate and coach them appropriately, to minimize turnover. This guide is filled with examples, checklists, forms, templates, and exercises.
"Academic, public, and special libraries like museums and archives that employ student assistants should purchase this book. Highly recommended."
