Good news! We have filled the two, new part-time positions in Circulation/Reserves! As I mentioned in an earlier Snippets, we took the full-time position vacated by Carri Huff and turned it into two part-time positions. We hope that the difficulties of working the late night and weekend shifts may be better absorbed by two part-time people. Each person will work 24 hours per week. Their specific hours will be determined after they begin. Our new staff members will be:
Greg Allendorf – who is a current Ph.D. student in Poetry at Mizzou. He has been a TA in the English Department and has taught a number of courses over the years. His start day will be Tuesday, 12 March.
Alisa Pappas will start work the following week on Thursday, 21 March. Alisa is currently a graduate student in the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies (SISLT). She has a son in elementary school and is currently working part-time at Daniel Boone Regional Library. She wants to focus on academic libraries, so she was excited to turn in her resignation there to begin working here.
Many thanks again, to Eric, for stepping up and working the late shifts during Carri’s absence. Thanks to Peter and Karen, as well, for working late on Fridays.
