Library Assistant II

1. Definitions

This is the second level in the series. Incumbents in both public and technical services are expected to have a general knowledge of library procedures and policies as they relate to several broad functions of a subunit or an entire unit of the library. A general knowledge of department and library activities, policies, and procedures is necessary. Incumbents perform work that is standardized in content and which involves the application of established practices. They may be expected to make decisions about routine matters and use some judgment regarding the application of general instructions. Identifying problems may require investigation. Past experience may not always be applicable. Time and research to identify alternatives may be required. Existing guidelines, while clear and well-defined, may not always be applicable and some judgment may be required to explain them. Independent judgment is required when weighing alternatives, deciding between conflicting guidelines, or prioritizing work tasks. In general, employees will choose their own method of completing a job assignment from among a number of options previously provided by a supervisor. Incumbents may suggest ways to improve current procedures and methods. The library assistant II is able to provide a higher level of information to library users, to use library/ computer systems as resources, and to render assistance in many instances without referring the inquiry to another person. Incumbents may schedule the work of and train student assistants as well as provide advice and direction to them. The majority of assignments (more than 50 percent) are at this level.
