Responsibilities:
The Evening Shelving Worker is a work-study employee who will work in the
Seminary Library's Reading Room from 6 PM to 10 PM on either Monday,
Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. You will begin your evening work by reading
the shelves in a section of the seminary library. "Reading the shelves" is
a technical term meaning that you must make sure the books on the shelves
in the stacks of the Reading Room are in their proper alpha-numeric order.
Often our staff or library patrons cannot find a book because that book,
rather than being lost or stolen, is not in its proper place. It is a
shelf away or a few books away from its proper place. The Evening Shelving
Worker on Mondays will read shelves with alpha-numeric shelf numbers that
begin with the letters AC to BR. This is the section of books on
philosophy, Judaism, church history. The Evening Shelving Worker on
Tuesdays will read all the shelves with books whose alpha-numeric label
begins with the letters BS. These are all our Scripture books. The
Shelving Worker on Wednesday evenings will read the shelves in the section
containing books whose shelf number begins with the letters BT thru BV,
that is Christology, Mariology, and Spirituality. This task should not
take more than an hour. When it is ended, go and get from the staff room
the cart of books that need to be re-shelved in the stacks in the Reading
Room. Once you have re-shelved those books, you must check the periodical
display shelves to make sure periodicals are in their proper place. If you
find current periodicals missing, then you should look on the desktops and
carrels for them. In the last half-hour, that is, between 9:30 PM and 10
PM, check all study areas for books and periodicals that have been
consulted but not checked-out and thus need to be re-shelved. At the same
time straighten out or push in chairs at the carrels or desks. Finally,
you must check the copier machine to make sure its copier paper bins are
full for next morning's use. Then turn off the copier machine.
