What is it like to work at K-State Libraries?

Lydia Travis, Student Assistant II 2008-2011; Interior Designer, B.A. Designs

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student employee at Hale Library. Looking back on my undergraduate experience, my job at Hale has played such a large role in my success and satisfaction as a student and I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work here. The supervisors and staff are flexible concerning students' work schedules and are very considerate of academic-related obligations and class schedules. During my employment here, I have met absolutely wonderful people, whether it be other library staff or frequent patrons and professors. As a result of these close relationships between staff and students, I was able to gain the references and support essential for jump-starting my career after graduation. I also learned valuable customer service skills, strong communication capacities, and effective problem-solving skills. Overall, my experience with K-State Libraries has been incredibly positive and I would recommend this opportunity to everyone.

Working at the K-State Libraries benefited me as both a student and as I was seeking a job for after college. I was able to work in several departments and learn a variety of research tools. This not only helped improve my work performance but I was able to apply these skills to my college work. I often found myself researching and navigating the library website outside of work for completing my coursework. I enjoyed working with all of my co-workers and assisting the public with numerous library questions. My last year working at K-State Libraries also proved to be successful in that I was able to obtain quality references when I was applying for a career after college. K-State Libraries is a wonderful place to work and made my university experience that much better.
