Information Services at Queen’s University Library is once again hiring for Work Study positions during the Fall 2026 to Winter 2027 academic year.
Student Assistants are a vital part of the library, and ensure library locations across campus continue to be a premier destination for research, study, and collaboration. In particular, Student Assistants are front-line ambassadors creating a welcoming environment, providing a high-level of responsiveness and expertise in day-to-day services, and enabling student success through access to resources and research help.

Shifts occur throughout all library operating hours and are usually 3 to 4.5 hours in length. Attention to detail, punctuality, dependability, and good organizational skills are important.
