Time to start thinking about next semester!

Another semester is almost over! Pretty soon you'll be studying for exams (yikes!) but after that it's not long until you get a well-deserved break.

But that also means it's time to start thinking about when (and whether) you want to work next semester. Please let me know what hours you're interested in working and how many hours you're interested in working each week. And please be specific! Don't say "Monday mornings" -- say, "Mondays between 9AM and noon" (or whatever -- just please use HOURS, not concepts like morning, afternoon, evening, and night, which are kind of vague).

Specific hours requests (i.e. requests that ask for specific hours, none of this "afternoons and evenings" stuff ;) received before the beginning of exams will receive first consideration. I will attempt to fill nonspecific requests and requests received after the beginning of exams, but they will be lower-priority.

Exam Period Hours
Please also let me know when you will be leaving for the semester, and whether you would like to pick up extra hours during the exam period.

The library will be open 24 hours a day during the exam and reading periods. We don't staff the library 24 hours a day -- security guards are here from 11PM to 7:30AM -- but that does leave us with some extra hours to cover on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you are interested in picking up extra hours during exams, let me know. If you already know you will not be able to work your regular hours during exams, let me know about that, too, as soon as possible!

Have a great day and a great rest of the semester!
