When someone asked about dirt in the library I copied and pasted my #5 job assignment from my Research Assistants Responsibilities. I had a LOT of people ask me for the whole thing.

Updated 27 April 2009 Please read this entirely before signing your name UNDER your assignment. If you have any questions, please ASK. Now is the time. Ways you are graded: * Pop quiz ...during your shift I may ask you if you are finished shelving your books. Then I will check the carts. Minus one point for every item left on the cart from your assignment. * Homework assignments...anytime I post anything to be signed i.e. this paper it is a homework grade if you sign THIS by 4/28 you get an A; 4/29=B, 4/30=C, 5/1 = D and if you sign after that or never sign it is an F for that grade. * Making a poster...see #8 above, the earlier in the 9 weeks it is hung the better grade you get (TEST GRADE). * If I have to remind you to do your assignments see all 10 above also. * The final...a final shelf check. I will look around on your shelves to see they are in order and they have been cleaned. A book misplaced is minus one point. A book out of its section i.e. in REF when it is a nonfiction book is minus 5 points. Expectations for Media Center Research Assistants The Library and Media Center is a wonderful benefit offered to the students of Crystal River High School. By assuming the role of Research Assistant inside the Media Center, you become an integral part of the learning process for other Pirates. Therefore, you are held to high standards and expectations. During your shift, you should consider yourself to be in class. There are many freedoms that come from being in this class, but assisting students in the Media Center, any task asked of you by Media Center Personnel, and the responsibilities laid out below are your utmost priority and the basis by which you will receive a grade. * Straighten all tables and chairs. The Media Center should look orderly at all times. * Check pink and green sign-in sheets on all computers; which should be under mouse pad or on paper holder. If a computer is missing the pink or green sheet, replacements can be found in the supply room shelves above the telephone. If running low on sign-in sheet supply, it is your duty to inform Ms. Mitchell or any other Media Center Personnel. * When a computer is not in use, check the connectivity. * Scan books in cabinet and put them in their correct place. * Check your shelves for any books that may be out of order. * Once every nine weeks, you are responsible for removing the books and or videos in your section and giving the shelves a complete cleaning. Also check your books for necessary repairs. * Any books on tables or carts must have their status checked and put in their proper place. * You will read a book in one of your section each 9 weeks and make a poster depicting something about the book to attract readers to your section. * You may be asked to cover and/or repair books. * Research Assistants are expected to have a smile on their face and do their duties with a pleasant attitude. Failure to meet these expectations will result in disciplinary action including, but not limited to, a reduction in class grade average. By printing and signing below, you acknowledge that you have read the expectation letter and have had any questions answered by Media Center Personnel. __________________________ __________________________ __________ Print name Sign name Date Lynette (LYNN) Mitchell Library Media Specialist Crystal River High School 1205 NE 8th Ave. Crystal River, Florida 34428 mitchelll@citrus.k12.fl.us 352-795-4641 ext: 248 352-795-4519 FAX Currently reading: Unwind by Neil Shusterman Just finished: Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins What about you? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
