| contents | Books Not Burgers: Six Highly Effective Ways to Motivate and Retain Library Student Employees Sterling, Lorelei Rose Student Employment Library Personnel Motivation Techniques Employees Academic Libraries Library Services Labor Turnover Personnel Management Although there is a healthy amount in the literature about the importance of motivating student library employees in an academic setting, very little of it discusses the practical aspects of how to motivate students. A supervisor must often use ideas from other disciplines, including the business world and academia. In this article, the author suggests six highly effective, yet cost-conscious methods that have been used successfully in an academic library setting to keep student employees motivated and to retain them year after year. These six methods are: (a) encouraging autonomy, (b) holding contests, (c) providing food, (d) being open to suggestions, (e) using employee strengths, and (f) celebrating seasonal or university-specific events. |
