Starting Off On The Right Foot: A Library New Student Employee Orientation, James Williams Iii

South Carolina Libraries

This article is for administrators, department heads, supervisors and anyone who employs students to assist with the day to day operation of their organization and want to maximize the experience and benefit for both the student and the organization.

Critical Theory, Libraries And Culture, Jenny Bossaller, Denice Adkins, Kim M. Thompson
