We couldn’t offer the expanding suite of research services at Pendergrass Library without our Student Assistants. At Pendergrass, Student Assistants answer questions at the front desk, assist with opening and closing the library, and digitize and process items from our collection to make them easily accessible. Our Student Assistants are the smiling face of the library, showing excellent customer service to students, faculty, and staff.
But our Student Assistants go above and beyond traditional library responsibilities. This year’s students (Mindi Anderson, Sinead Doherty, Amelia Fass, William Mitch Marino, Holly Mason, Caroline Norris, Lindsey Rasnake, and Halley Stamps) and graduate students (Kristina Dorsett, Laura Hood, and Taylor Hixson) have helped with several special projects:
Poster printing: Large format poster printing is one unique task that Student Assistants have been trained to handle. In the run-up to the #EUReCA undergraduate research events of April 11-15, Pendergrass Student Assistants took the lead in printing over 90 posters between April 1-12.
Social media: Do you follow @pendergrasslib on Twitter? You can thank Pendergrass Student Assistants for the tidbits of agriculture information in our #FunFactFriday series. They scoured the library and the Internet to bring the most interesting nature trivia to your Twitter feed.
YouTube videos: Graduate Student Assistants Kristina Dorsett and Taylor Hixson are a whiz at creating fun library videos. Watch videos on library resources, events, and more on the Pendergrass Library playlist on the UT Libraries YouTube page.
Want to show your appreciation for the Pendergrass Student Assistants? Stop by the front desk and tell them how much you appreciate their hard work!
