PARSONS MUSIC LIBRARY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES: 1-10

Policies and procedures for the staff of Parsons Music Library

10 Simple Rules for Music Library Student Employees***

1. BE ON TIME
Your first duty is to report to work on time for the hours assigned to you.  If you will be more than five minutes late for any reason, call Melanie or Linda as soon as possible.  Repeated unexcused lateness or no-shows will cost you your job.

2. BE ATTENTIVE
If someone approaches you for help, immediately give them your undivided attention. Returned materials should be discharged promptly to avoid confusion.  Student employees may not listen to music or make personal calls while on duty at the circulation desk. NO EARBUDS OR HEADPHONES UNLESS YOU ARE USING THEM FOR A MUSIC LIBRARY WORK ASSIGNMENT!

3. BE CONSCIENTIOUS
Student employees may read or do schoolwork only after all assigned duties have been completed.  

4. BE CAREFUL
If you must leave the circulation desk unattended, make sure the keys are in your possession or hand them to a staff member.  Only library employees are allowed in staff areas, unless authorized by Melanie or Linda.

5. BE INFORMED
Check the Music Library Student Employee Blackboard site every day.  This is where Linda and Melanie post information that you will need to do your job.  Check your email at least once a day and respond promptly to any communications related to the Music Library.

6. BE SAFE
If you have (non-emergency) problems after 5:00 pm or on weekends, your on-campus contact is Boatwright's Main Service Desk at 289-8876. If a leak or other building issue arises, first call University Facilities (289-8600), then Boatwright, then Linda (804 683-3677). For emergency situations, call 911.

7. BE RESPONSIBLE
If you need to leave the library during a work shift (including using the restroom or getting a drink), tell someone on staff.  Don't just disappear.

8. BE PRESENTABLE
Student employees must wear shoes at all times and should dress appropriately for public service. 

9. BE QUIET
The Music Library is a large space, but loud voices will carry due to the high ceiling.  Please keep social conversation at the circulation desk to a minimum.

10. BE NEAT
Do not consume food or beverages near computers, equipment, or library materials. Dispose of, or recycle, any trash that you generate, and promptly wipe up any spills.
