Looking for On-Campus employment?

Stevens now has a central portal for student employment. In order to check for on-campus jobs (including jobs in the library), visit: www.stevens.edu/sit/studentemployment

The Student Employment Office (SEO) works with faculty, the community, and all University departments to create Part-Time Federal Work Study/Community Service and Regular On-Campus Employment. The purpose of the On-Campus Student Employment Program is to promote Part-Time Employment of Undergraduate, Graduate or Professional Students who are in need of earnings to pursue courses of study at Stevens Institute of Technology.

The SEO Wesbite is a resource for job-seeking students. This website will walk Students and Supervisors from the recruitment process all the way through their employment journey.

SEO requires Departments to post job opportunities for students through the Virtual Edge Database by filling out a Requisition. Students may then apply by requesting a password by using their pipeline login.

We hope you find SPIE eBooks becomes an essential tool in your work; the library and SPIE would value your feedback. (You can always contact us at: library [at] stevens [dot] edu.)

New green alternative to photocopying at the library

In an effort to further Stevens' efforts towards being a green campus, the library has a new, easy-to-use scanning station. Instead of photocopying, you can now scan book pages or documents, and then either save them to your usb drive or e-mail them directly from the console.

The simple touchscreen interface allows you to scan in color, black and white or greyscale, and save your files in various formats, including pdf and jpg. You can also use the station to edit and adjust your documents after scanning.

The scanning station is free to use, and located on the first floor of the library, on the north wall (at the beginning of the row of public computers.)

System downtime

This Saturday, 6/19, from 7:00am to 12:00pm, Information Technology will be performing required maintenance on the network file storage system. Services that will experience outages during the maintenance timeframe include Stevens E-mail, individual, departmental and shared file services, and Stevens website content. Additionally, the following applications will be disrupted:

Physical Plant work order system, password self-services, CallPilot web services, library proxy services, Adina, LabView, & Ansys license managers, and Webevents.

This means that all library online resources will only be available from on-campus during that time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Information Technology help desk at 201-216-5500 or go to www.stevens.edu/helpdesk.
