Occasionally, but not optimally, it will be appropriate to consult with the other person assigned during the shift and to mutually decide that single staffing is acceptable. It is not necessary to inform the Desk Schedules Coordinator or the Scheduler that you have made a trade or other arrangement. Librarians needing to do library instruction during their regular Desk shift should arrange trades first. If there is more than one librarian who prefers not to do a night shift, the choice will rotate from semester to semester. The person not doing a night shift is required to do at least one 5-6 p.m. shift.
Lecturers carry the majority of weekend shifts.
A Librarian or Lecturer who is unable to cover a scheduled weekend shift must contact a colleague directly to find a replacement.
