Abstract

Historically, libraries' dependence on student workers was viewed as a necessary evil; however, this attitude has become more positive, recognizing that the arrangement has the potential to benefit the institution, the students, and the profession. Central Missouri State University depends on student workers to help meet the needs of the campus community. In 1990, the implementation of a mandatory orientation program ensured that student employees are well-versed not only in their own unit, but that they possess general knowledge of areas outside their work assignment. Central's orientation program consists of a student employee handbook and contract, a video, a tour of the library, an evaluation process, and a way to recognize outstanding employees.
