Lesson 3 Part 2 Challenge

3 Public Libguides: Job Guide It's not uncommon to have a teen ask staff questions about what sort of information to include on a job application or where to look for jobs. Of course, we're more than happy to help with this sort of thing, but the Job Guide is a useful resource to recommend for further research or information when the library is closed. What Do I Read Now? Teens can be voracious readers, and often ask for recommendations based on genre or favorite authors. While staff can most often assist with readers' advisory questions using their knowledge of the collection, our readers' advisory tools can come in handy when dealing with an unfamiliar subgenre or when the teen would rather do the digging on their own. This libguide links to a variety of print and electronic resources for finding something new to read. Teen Volunteers One of the most common questions we get, from students, teachers, and parents, is about our volunteer program. We've got a spiel about the program down pat, but if the patron wants to pass the information along, this is a great reference. 2 Staff Libguides: I regularly find myself referring to the Circulation libguide to make sure I'm doing something right (like entering a name). I'm sure many of my coworkers do, too, but I figured I'd mention it anyway. By contrast, I very rarely look at the Self-directed Learning libguide, but I did for this exercise. There's a lot of useful information and links to be found there!
