"Other Duties as Assigned": Librarians Off-Desk

If you’re a library school student, you’re looking for a job.

You’ve probably seen advertisements or position descriptions that mention “other duties as assigned.”
But what ARE those other duties? Here’s a sample from the University of Notmaine.

1) Book Reviews. We publish reviews of popular and scholarly books to support other librarians selecting titles for their collections.

2) Campus Badging Initiatives. We designed and oversee a 3-step pathway encouraging students to learn more about information literacy.

3) Cultural Activities. We facilitate student book groups and host a film series, bringing students together to learn more about topics that interest them.

4) K-12 Student Workshops. We collaborate with other departments, presenting library resource workshops to primary and secondary students visiting from all over the state.

5) Research Support Workshops. We teach employee and student researchers about finding grants, increasing scholarly impact, and publishing open access works.
