Emergency
If fire or other alarms are sounded, please exit the building immediately via the Pusey main entrance. Please don’t pause to finish tasks or shut down applications—just leave. When you’ve left the building, please gather near the top of the Pusey steps.
Entry
Please always enter work via the Pusey main entrance, unless advised otherwise by your immediate supervisor; you may ring the doorbell at the entrance to Technical Services and a staff member will open the door.
Belongings
Please store all personal belongings in the closet near the entrance to the Technical Services offices. Please also know that all bags are subject to search as you leave the building.
Restrooms
Restrooms are located just outside the Pusey lobby. When you return from the restroom, please ring the doorbell at the entrance to Technical Services and a staff member will open the door.
Break Room
There is a break room/staff lounge on the ground floor of Houghton Library. Feel free to take breaks in this space. If you bring a lunch, you may store it in the refrigerator. There is hot coffee and tea, and cold filtered water available, too.
Absence
Please always alert your immediate supervisor if you’re going to be very late or miss a shift completely. We understand that various factors may cause you to miss a shift, but your supervisor needs to know.
Payroll
Please submit your hours each week by 3 pm Thursday to the Technical Services Librarian. Hours for the entire week (even Friday hours not yet worked) should be submitted as follows:
Thursday, 09/30 – 4.00 hours (whatever number of hours worked (use .50 for half-hour increments)).
Your pay is deposited the following Friday.
Food and Drink
No food or beverages are allowed inside the Technical Services area. If you need to have water with you, speak to your immediate supervisor and we can arrange for a spill-proof mug.
Other Spaces
It is possible your work will take you into interconnected Houghton Library building or Lamont Library spaces. If this is necessary, your immediate supervisor will assist in accomplishing this.
Questions
If you have questions or concerns regarding your work, please speak with your immediate supervisor. If your supervisor is unavailable, you should feel free to speak with any Technical Services manager.
