The Richter Library employs more than 200 student assistants each year in a wide variety of positions throughout the library and its branches.
Student assistants are a vital component of the library workforce.
Students process new materials, staff public service desks, search databases and edit library holdings information, develop library publications and Web sites, shelve thousands of volumes of materials that have circulated, process interlibrary loan materials and requests, perform clerical duties, and assist library patrons in all departments and units. Library employment offers UM students an opportunity to work with a diverse staff and student population and to learn new skills while on the job. Flexible schedules are available in most student assistant positions.
