Student Worker Manual : Leads

Welcome to the Leads team! Leads are students who have excelled in their positions as H&I Assistants and Access Proctors and are given increased responsibility and training. Leads are expected to be able to work at both service points, aid in training new students at both service points, and help with intermediate services such as creating LibAnswers tickets, placing manual requests in Alma, and working with proxy borrowers. Leads also work on special projects as they arise including inventorying board games, proofreading, and more. In this training, you will complete training at both service desks, watch advanced customer service training videos, and complete in-person training exercises with a supervisor. 

If you have questions or comments about this training, contact Katie at k.donnelly@northeastern.edu

You should first start by completing the basic required training for both service points.

• If you were previously a Circulation Assistant, please complete the Access Point training. 
• If you were previously an Access Proctor, please complete the H&I Desk training and Physical Collections training

Once you have completed these trainings, notify Katie so you can be scheduled for your first shift at the second service point.

The log in information for the H&I Leads account is stored on the IDEAS Student Employees team.
