What to do when you’re not busy

At the Desk:

  • Dust: monitors, counters, desks, bookshelves at desk and behind circulation area, tables, chairs
  • Wipe down desks and tables with provided cleaning supplies
  • There are various quizzes within the Modules tab of Canvas. You can refresh your LC shelving by taking the Orange/Yellow card quiz or the LC call number quiz. There is also a Government Documents Refresher for those that have already completed Gov Docs training.
  • Make yourself familiar with the library web pages and report issues as needed.
  • Reread any portions of the manual that you do not understand or need a refresher on.

On the Floor:

  • Dust the Stacks
  • Straighten books and move bookends
  • Push in chairs and replace any furniture that has been moved
  • Pick up and throw away trash
    • Any pens or pencils left around can be put in the pen cup, which is located by the printer in the South Commons
  • Open any blinds that are closed
  • Look for any misplaced books throughout the library. If you find any, bring them back to the Circulation desk to be marked used and then reshelve them
  • Go through the Stacks aisle and fix the shelves by bringing forward any books that might be pushed back
  • Check for lost and found items, especially before closing the library
  • Pull study room reservation sheets that are no longer needed, especially at the end of the day. Make sure to put these in the recycling.
  • Take photos for the Library Instagram and Facebook. Send these to the Information Services Librarian via email or Canvas message
  • Wipe down dirty desk or table surfaces. If there is a larger mess that requires anything more than a quick wipe down, ask a full-time employee to submit a ticket to facilities. If it is after 5pm, refer to the contact sheet to call Physical Facilities for assistance.
  • Shelf read
  • Check the printers throughout the library and refill the paper when necessary
  • Refill the staplers when necessary
  • Check for staple or printer jams
  • Straighten up the computers and their surrounding areas
