Dick Smith Library – Main Floor
The User Services Assistant has many different areas of operation, but the main tasks revolve around scheduling rooms inside of the library, most notably the Multi-Purpose Room and the Practice Presentation Room, and staffing the Reference Desk 5-8 p.m. on weekdays. Other tasks that are assigned to this position involve an inventory and recurring health checks of the collection.
Jacob says, "I attended Stephenville schools for my whole life and graduated from Stephenville High School in the top 10% of the class of 2015. I began studying at Tarleton in August 2015 with the intention of securing a bachelor’s degree in English along with teacher certification to teach at the secondary level. Due to changes in interest, I graduated on August 10, 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in Spanish."
Before joining the library staff, Jacob worked as a machine operator and packaging assistant at Square One Machine, inspected and packaged goods at Schreiber Foods, and served as a student worker in our cataloging department.
Jacob's off-the-job interests include reading philosophical or fantastical material, creative writing, language learning, and traveling (intercontinentally or internationally). His spare-time activities include ultimate frisbee, walking and hiking, and reading when there is time. His favorite books are
The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri, and World War Z by Max Brooks.
