CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Initially, under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine support for assigned library operations and / or programs.

Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Library Assistant II - This is the fully qualified journey-level classification in the Library Assistant series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Library Assistant I level by performing the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.
