dedications

The end of the academic year, while exciting, also brings us a touch of sadness as we say farewell to our Class of '23 student assistants. We would not be able to provide the services we do without their support and dedication to the library. It is our long held and much loved tradition to dedicate a book in our collection to show our appreciation. Each student is asked to select a title that is meaningful to them; we then add a special book plate in their honor.

As we close the book on the academic year we must also say farewell to our Class of '22 student assistants.

...

Our most beloved tradition here at the Bentley Library is to show appreciation to our graduating student assistants with a book or film dedication. Always an integral part of the library's operations, this year our student employees worked harder than ever to help us keep the doors open and meet the needs of our community during a global pandemic.

...

The Bentley Library's doors are open 100+ hours a week because our student assistants arrive to work at 7:30am and leave at 2:00am. During exams period they work overnight to provide the 24-hour library access Bentley students desire. Books, DVDs, course reserves and other items are available because our student assistants have covered, labeled, and shelved them. Have you ever utilized Interlibrary Loan or Scan on Demand?

What would we do without our student assistants? They are here when we open the doors at 7:30 a.m. and close at 2:00 a.m. During exams we leave the overnight operation of the library in their trusted hands. ...

It's no secret that the Bentley Library couldn't run without the hard work and dedication of our student assistants. They help us keep the doors open 110 hours a week (plus many extra late-night hours during finals), they are the front line of support at the Library Services Desk, they help the Technical Services Department process every item that goes on our shelves, and in Interlibrary Loan they facilitate borrowing from and lending to other libraries around the world. It is library tradition to say thank you to our graduating student assistants with a book or film dedication. ...

They work at the Library as early as 7:30 a.m. and as late as 2:00 a.m. During finals, they're even here between 2 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Filling printers with paper, processing new books, and assisting library users are just a few of their responsibilities. Who are these people? ...
