Class or
Work Schedule Changes --
Has your class schedule changed (added or dropped class) and you’ll need to
adjust your work schedule for the remainder of the semester? For those
issues/questions, please see Matt or send him an email.
Running Late to Work -- If you are running late to work a shift, please call the library at 812-855-1957 to let the supervisors know. Please do not text or call any individual supervisor directly.
Unable to Work a Shift & Need 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 that you are unable to work, you will need to put up sub request.
Remember, you can't work more than 29 hours each week. Also, you can't work when you are scheduled to be in class.
Timesheet Issues -- If you forgot to clock in/out or need to have your timesheet fixed in some way, please see Jeri or send her an email.
Questions about Payroll -- Please reach out to either Jeri or Matt. They can help you figure it out.
Staff Directory -- Each semester, we put together a list of all library staff’s phone numbers & email addresses. This is an internal document for staff use only. We do suggest you put the phone number for the library along with the numbers of all full time staff in your phone contacts. So if you need to call the library at any time you’ll already have the number and if the staff gives you a call or text for any reason, you’ll know it’s us and not a spam call.
Birthdays -- Celebrating birthdays is always fun, right? Here at Business/SPEA we celebrate staff birthdays on the first Wednesday of each month complete with treats and a sign listing who had/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 -- Please feel free to reach out to any of
the supervisors. Remember, there are no dumb questions. Think of it this way,
you won’t know an answer unless you ask us. We’ll do our best to answer them or
find someone who can help.
If you are a returning employee, we hope you had a great summer and are excited to start a new semester. If you are a new employee, welcome to the staff, we’re glad to have you here. We hope you will enjoy being part of our staff.
The Business/SPEA Library is the library that supports the Kelley School of Business & 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, meaning the library is designed for collaborative work and tends to get rather loud. At times, it will sound a lot more like your middle school cafeteria at lunch time than a library. We are the second busiest library in the IU Libraries system. We have a small, but mighty staff that keep this library going. We prioritize teamwork & great customer service.
The purpose of this blog is to share information to the staff without having to clutter your inbox with extra emails. One of your job expectations is to check the blog during each of your shifts.
If you have any questions about the blog or any of the information posted on it, please feel free to ask a supervisor.
We’re
looking forward to a fantastic fall semester ahead!!
