Some Important Things to Know

 


Schedule Changes -- Has your class schedule changed (added/dropped a class) and you need to adjust your work schedule for the remainder of the semester? For those issues/questions, please see Matt or send him an email.

Timesheet Issues -- If you forget to clock in/out, do a missed punch or need to have your timesheet fixed in some way, please see Jeri or send her an email. 

Running Late to Work -- If you are running late to arrive at work, please call the library at 812-855-1957 to let the supervisors know. Please do not text any individual supervisor.

Unable to work a shift & need of someone to cover a shift for you -- We use a email listserv for posting of sub notices, so that all staff, including supervisors, will see it and know about potential holes in the schedule. You will be added to the list, by a supervisor and receive an email. The list address is busp-subs-l@list.iu.edu  Please don't use any list address with the word "request" in it.        

When requesting a sub, please include in the email the date & time of the shift you need covered.

If you are able & willing to pick up a shift for a co-worker, simply reply to their email indicating you can work for them. If you discover later on that you are unable to work, you will need to put up sub request. 

Staff Directory - We put together a staff directory containing library staff's phone numbers & email addresses. This is an internal document for staff use only. We do suggest that you put the library's phone number along with the full-time staff phone numbers in your contacts, so if you miss a shift and we give you call or text, you'll know it's us and not spam. 

Birthdays - Who doesn't love celebrating another trip around the sun? We here at Business/SPEA celebrate birthdays on the first Wednesday of each month with treats and a sign listing who has/had a birthday that month. Be on the lookout for someone asking about your birthday for the official list. 

Questions about the library, your job or most anything else -- Please ask any of the supervisors. There are no dumb questions. Look at it this way, you won't have an answer until you ask us. We'll do our best to answer your questions and/or find someone who can help. 


Welcome or Welcome Back to the Business/SPEA Library

 


Welcome or Welcome Back to the Business/SPEA Library! If you're a returning employee, we hope you had a great summer and are excited for a new semester to start. If you're a new employee, welcome to the library staff & we're glad to have you join us. We hope you had a great summer and are excited for a new semester to start as well. We really hope you'll enjoy being a part of our library team.

The Business/SPEA Library is the library that supports both the Kelley School of Business and the O'Neill School of Public & Environmental Affairs (SPEA). Organizationally speaking, our library is part of the IU Libraries. Physically speaking, our library is located in the SPEA building. We are a non-traditional library space, meaning the library is designed for collaborative work and tends to get very loud. At times, it will sound less like a normal library and more like a school cafeteria at lunch time. We are the second busiest library in the IU Libraries system.  We serve two of the largest schools (enrollment wise) on campus with our small, but mighty staff.  We prioritize teamwork & great customer service.

The purpose of this blog is to share information to all library staff without having to clutter your inbox with extra emails. One of your job expectations is to check this blog during each of your shifts. You will find it bookmarked on the computers at the service desk.

If you every have any questions about the blog or any of the information posted on it, please ask a supervisor.

We're looking forward to a fantastic semester!!
