Part of this commitment to our community is offering students real world employment opportunities within our libraries. Each semester student assistant positions may become available in our Access Services, Special Collections, Collection Management and Resource Services (CMRS), Digital Services, and Marketing departments across the libraries on all ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÏÂÔØ campuses.
