“The library will succeed (because it will have plenty of valuable work to do) if it continues to be the locus of expertise and innovation regarding scholarly information, how to find it, and how to use it.”No Brief Candle, p.27 No Brief Candle: Reconceiving Research Libraries for the 21st Century. (CLIR publication ; no. 142) Papers from a meeting convened by CLIR of librarians, publishers, faculty members, and information technology specialists on February 27, 2008 in Washington, D.C.
Before You Go Please send your signed travel request form (pre-authorization) to Glenda White BEFORE your trip and before you use the procard.
When You Return Bring all receipts and a summary of when you left and returned, and reason for the trip (no abbreviations) to Glenda to get reimbursed.
You do not need receipts for meals BUT you do need the per diem sheet that you print out with your reimbursements. You can NO longer get reimbursed for tips (on meals, taxi, etc) as the cost of your meals per day has been increased to cover that.
PLEASE do not fill out the online travel sheet yourself, Glenda will do this for you. Account numbers have to be entered and the amount calculated automatically.
After you sign your travel form, it will take about 2 weeks for it to process. If you have not received an email about direct deposit, please contact Glenda and she will check on the status.
But wait! There’s more: If you are out of town or work out of town and can’t get here to sign your travel form, send Glenda an email saying you give her permission to sign for you.
DLSC faculty can call first when filling out the pre-authorization form to see if they have funds left or need to secure additional funds from the dean, dept. head or use personal funds.
If you have a question concerning student employment, contact Paula, Student Personnel Coordinator @5-6113, Cravens 302. paula.owens@wku.edu Student applications are on file for supervisors to review and to select the students they are interested in interviewing. Students must be approved to work through the Financial Assistance office. Applicants must have a FAFSA on file and a background check completed before starting work. The Library Student Personnel Office will complete all necessary paperwork and will forward them to Financial Assistance.
Student supervisors are responsible for signing the student’s paper timesheet and submitting it to the Library Student Personnel Office on date requested. The student assistants are responsible for submitting their Web Time Entry. New faculty with a student assistant position will receive a packet of information.
