Overview

Being the room coordinator means managing access, usage and maintenance of multiple spaces within the library. This involves knowledge of complex software, communication with staff across multiple departments within and outside of Valley Library, and the ability to problem solve on a moment's notice. The complexity and wide spectrum of responsibility makes it difficult to break duties down into concise categories. As a result, there will be many pages that overlap and cross-reference each other. Below is a broad outline of responsibilities. 

Areas of Responsibility

Managing Patron Usage of Spaces

  • Handling Classroom reservations and managing the calendars. Communicating with Faculty, Staff and Students who wish to use an Valley Library Classroom.
  • Overseeing patron usage of Research Rooms. This includes tracking requests, answering questions from patrons about policy, and finding creative solutions when necessary to assist patrons in their room needs.
  • Determining usage policy for spaces in coordination with the Library Space Planning Manager, LEAD and Circulation Supervisors, and other Library Faculty as appropriate.
