Abstract
Academic libraries' dependence on student assistants has led to a host of articles debating the merit of employing students, discussing how best to hire and manage students, and offering suggestions for motivating these temporary, part-time employees. Undergraduate student workers are usually highly capable and bring a wealth of ideas and energy to the job, yet they can also be unreliable. The University of Tennessee Libraries Preservation Office has learned that library and information science (LIS) practicum students bring their own motivation to excel and are valuable resources for completing projects. The benefits of supervising a practicum student go not only to the student, but also the supervisor, the library, and the field.
