Technical Services Associate - Law Library

Student Associates in the Law Library are responsible for conducting the technical and detail-oriented tasks that contribute to the library’s daily function. This includes work either within shelving or technical services, both of which support the operations of the Law Library’s physical collections. Student Associates do not need prior specialized knowledge to hire, but their jobs require intermediate knowledge of job procedures and tools obtained through training. Tasks assigned to Student Associates require more independence and decision-making due to the likelihood of situations that deviate from standard procedures. 

Sample tasks include, but are not limited to: 

Searching the library’s virtual catalog and physical collections 

Shelving new and recently used materials in the library’s collections 

Receiving and withdrawing both serial and monographic materials in the library system 

Conducting regular shelf-reading and other quality control checks 

Participating in the relocation and/or shifting of library materials 

Inputting Government Documents in the library system 

Labeling, stamping, and otherwise processing new materials 

Performing inventory checks and searching for lost or missing books
