Materials currently checked out to another patron can have a hold placed on them by any Ohio Wesleyan University patron. When the item is returned, the patron who placed the hold is notified that the item is now available. This service is available at any circulation desk. We are the largest student employer on campus, with more than one hundred students working in Beeghly Library and the three branch libraries. Each year we hire approximately forty new students.
Student assistants are vital to the general operation of the Ohio Wesleyan Libraries.
Student assistants supplement the work of the library staff, providing them time to work on other projects. Our student assistants perform essential tasks as well as enable us to satisfy the demand for long hours of operation. Students who work here learn to use the library more effectively in their own studies. They gain valuable experience working with fellow students, faculty and staff, as well as the general public. Students who receive a work-study grant as part of their financial aid package may be interested in applying for employment with us.
