The USC Libraries are seeking energetic incoming freshmen to serve as Library Ambassadors to the Residence Halls for the 2012-13 academic year. Ambassadors are required to:
Attend training sessions scheduled during the first month of classes
Outreach to other students living in the Ambassador’s residence hall and be available to those who have questions regarding library research
Complete a capstone project to promote the USC Libraries’ services and resources (see below for more information)
Represent the Library at campus events
Library Ambassadors will receive a $600 stipend awarded in two disbursements: $300 in November 2012 and $300 in March 2013 (contingent on completion of the capstone project). Ambassadors are expected to keep a log of hours and activities undertaken as part of the position. Hours will be flexible in accordance with the student’s schedule and life in the residence halls.
Sara Scheib on 05 Apr 13Great idea for getting students involved in promoting library services and resources. I'll be interested to see what kinds of capstone projects come out of this. It might give us all some new ideas.
