[Genealib] Survey of Staffing Levels

[Laura Carter]

The Heritage Room is open 46 hours a week (the library is open 70 hours 
a week) and there are 2 of us supposedly scheduled in here for 40 hours 
a week.  I have an MLIS and a Specialist Library and Information Science 
degree;  the other person has a high school diploma.  I spend at least a 
third of my time doing general reference work and adult programming, for 
7 months this year I spent most of the time not on a public desk working 
on a major fund raising event for the library.  She spends at least 10 
hours a week processing passport applications.  Two other Information 
Services staff work one weekend a month.  Then we have several other 
staff that spend between 3 and 6 hours a week in here covering the desk.

Needless to say we do not get much  extra done other than basci customer 
services.
