| Abstract | Library student assistants play a vital role in the operation of libraries. They serve as the "frontliners" of the organization, communicating with the clients to give the right resources. It has been one of the common part-time jobs available for college students. The study assessed the level of job satisfaction of library student assistants working in UP Diliman Libraries. From fifty-nine (59) library student assistants who worked last academic year 2011-2012, thirty-seven (37) were randomly selected to be respondents. Twenty-six (26) replied from the request to answer an online questionnaire. Respondents were directed to answer questions through online survey. The data gathered were analyzed and interpreted on what library student assistants think about their job. Library student assistants perform non-professional yet essential tasks for the operation of the library. These tasks are: Shelving (84.7%), Locating materials (61.6%), Shelf reading (61.6%), Staffing control desk (61.6%), and Staffing loan desk (61.6%). Library student assistants were also given little supervision on their work, giving them autonomy to do the tasks they perform. Time management and low and slow salary processing are some of the problems library student assistants encountered. Overall, library student assistants were satisfied in their job. Recommendations, such as, competitive salary, priority in registration, and priority in dormitory slots were suggested by library student assistants. |
