The Law Library is Seeking Summer and Fall Work Study Students

The McKusick Law Library at the University of South Dakota School of Law is seeking applications for work study student assistants for the Summer 2014 Session and the 2014-2015 Academic Year.  Students may be undergraduates, or graduate/professional/law students. 

Duties include:

· Assisting with the maintenance of the library’s collection, including shelving and shifting books, looseleaf filing, labeling books, and filing pocket parts

· Working at the Library’s Circulation Desk, checking books in and out and answering general questions

· Scanning documents and other clerical tasks

· Other special projects as assigned

Skills required: You must be punctual, reliable, detail-oriented, be able to lift and move library books, and have good customer service skills. Because the library staff will train you, previous library experience is not required.

Work-study verification is needed prior to hire date, but all interested students are encouraged to submit application materials at any time (prior to receipt of official work-study authorization), as the Law Library will pre-screen applicants as soon as materials are received.  Students who begin in the summer session and who show promise with training will be strongly considered to continue for the academic year under the work study program.

To apply: Please send a brief email of interest to llibrary@usd.edu, attention of Sarah Kammer, Library Assistant, and attach a one-page resume. Your resume should include your contact information, educational background, work experience, and contact information for two educational or work references.
