Reserves Team
I have three College Assistants working in the Reserve Department Gissele Cardenas, Jonaise Privette, and Tanzania Garland. All the College assistants are working 20 hours per week and also assist the A/V Department, Circulation Desk, Library Office and other branches with ERes.
This year, as the college transitioned to remote instruction in March, the Hunter College Libraries staff and faculty worked tirelessly to provide access to our resources and services while working from home. Instead of our in-person Library Day celebration, we decided to provide this space for our staff and faculty to call each other out for the good work we have all been doing - much of which is invisible to the end-user.
The Libraries' User Experience & Outreach Committee asked library staff and faculty to submit individuals, groups, or library units to be called out here for their good work. The following are direct (but lightly edited for clarity and length) quotes from our staff and faculty about each other.
This list is not comprehensive, and there is a ton of work going on that isn't represented here. But this should give you an idea of some of the working being done by the dedicated people working (remotely) at all of the Hunter College Libraries.

All colleagues who have responsibilities to care for other folks during this time
Trying to work from home and remain productive while also meeting the needs of other people can be a challenge. All my colleagues who have folks who depend on them deserve the highest praise for keeping it together and doing their best every day. Whatever you're doing, it's enough.
