Employment Overview: 
University - All students will be hired in accordance with the Student Employment Office - California State University, Chico Policies and Procedures for Work-Study and Student Assistant Classifications.

Library - As a student at CSU, Chico, you are encouraged to keep in mind that your number one focus must be the achievement of your academic goals. If you choose to accept employment with the library, it should be with the clear understanding that you have carefully considered your academic commitments and your financial needs, and in doing so have determined that you can succeed with both your college education and your job. 

It is expected that you, as a committed student, understand the importance of maintaining the library at its highest possible degree of proficiency. The members of the University Community -- students, staff, faculty, and administration -- as the library's customers, have a need to access in a timely fashion the information contained in the library's electronic and paper formats, with all library units playing an equally important role in making this possible. As a library employee, it will be your responsibility to help ensure that the patrons' needs are being met. You will be expected to fulfill your part by presenting yourself in a professional and courteous manner, by being to work on time, and by performing your assigned responsibilities with a high degree of accuracy. 

Library Units: 
Student employment is available in various departments called library units. The duties performed by these employees vary from unit to unit. For example, some units have substantial interaction with the library's patrons, while others have very little. Also, work hours may vary from unit to unit. Most, but not all, technical units utilize their student employees between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Monday through Friday), while public service units typically operate seven days a week, from 7:30 a.m. until midnight, or in the case of the extended hours operation, around the clock. You are encouraged to discuss your individual needs with the unit supervisor with whom you interview prior to accepting employment.
