raising and Public Relations
Number of openings: 1 or 2
Estimated length of the project: Summer and Fall
Hours per day: 1-2 hours per day
Dates available: July 1 through Fall semester
Additional comments: The amount of time involved in the
project is flexible and it depends largely upon the overall project
plan that is developed.
Description: This project will involve planning and implementing
increased student participation in the Friends of the Library.
The participants will do some research on Friends of the Library
groups at other colleges and universities, including those that
have been successful in recruiting student members, and they will
document what has been done at Oberlin to recruit student members
of the Friends. Working from that research and the ideas that
came out of a student focus group on the Friends of the Library,
they will devise a plan for increased student participation in
the Friends of the Library and carry it out in the fall.
