The Oxford College Library's Student Employee Team (SET) hires and supervises over 50 student employees a year. This presentation will detail how library staff develop and instruct student employees to meet the needs of the library. Instruction includes library values, technology, and tasks, and is designed so that every staff employee is equipped to train students. Participants will take away strategies for improving instruction for student employees, outreach techniques for increasing student engagement, ideas for student leadership development, and suggestions for how to collaborate with other campus groups to foster community among student groups.
Participants will:
- learn new and innovative ways to provide information literacy instruction and practical training for student employees
- learn strategies to collaborate with external departments to strengthen their student employment program and campus relationships.
- learn valuable outreach techniques to collaborate with student employees in library instruction and special projects.
