This is the third edition of the popular CLIP Note, and much has changed since the second edition: There are a number of new laws such as the USA Patriot Act and privacy laws, increased computerization, as well as new issues in managing student employees that have emerged since 1994. This CLIP Note is based upon new information received from a survey about hiring and student management practices that was completed by over 150 practicing librarians across the country. Included is a selection of documents illustrating policies for all aspects of student employment including job descriptions, application forms, employment agreements, and orientation. General policies and procedures cover subjects such as expectations, dress codes, emergencies, training, dismissal procedures. Excerpts from four sample handbooks are also included.
