In order to extend the opening hours we are looking for students to volunteer as assistant librarians for 4-8 hours a week in the following slots: 1.30 pm-2.30 pm and 4 pm - 6 pm Monday to Thursday.
This is an opportunity to find out how a library works and to learn how to use the catalogue software but also to offer a service to the VIU community.
The duties include: loans and returns; updating the software of the library; providing information and support to the users; keeping the reading room generally tidy; stocking photocopiers with paper.
A certificate will be issued at the end of the semester.
Volunteers will be rewarded with meal vouchers (1 meal voucher per each 2 hour shift in the library).
Meal vouchers can be spent at the San Servolo Cafè, some bars and restaurants in Venice and even some supermarkets.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact VIU librarian, Francesca Scattolin, at librarian@univiu.org
