		+	<big>Tips for Floating Librarians<br>
		+	<small><br>
		+	Many library systems employ floaters- people who
		+	do not work at a specific location, but "float" around from library to
		+	library and fill in for  a short-handed staff.  This
		+	is especially true as more and more workers take advantage of the <em>Family
		+	and Medical Leave Act of 1993</em>
		+	[1].  Listed below are a few tips for current floaters or
		+	would-be floaters interested in some of the challenges of the position:<br>
		+	<br>
		+	</small></big>
		+	<ul>
		+	<li><big><small> Make
		+	sure your transportation is <em>safe
		+	and reliable</em>.  It may
		+	be possible that some floaters must supply their own transportation
		+	from location to location.  Inquire with your employer if it
		+	is possible to take a company vehicle when on location if the need to
		+	travel arrives, and mark your mileage for possible compensation.</small></big></li>
		+	<li><big><small>If
		+	floating a position that has contacts with patrons,<strong>
		+	never</strong> assume a patron knows
		+	what they want to find, or that you know what they want! [2]
		+	Ask them questions to dig out the answer.</small></big></li>
		+	<li><big><small>Become
		+	very familiar with the procedures of your institution, as these will
		+	act as a guide for you to follow at the various locations you may be
		+	visiting [2].  Also, make personal notes of any idiosyncrasies
		+	from location to location, and try to respect them.  After
		+	all, you're a guest worker!</small></big></li>
		+	<li><big><small>Don't
		+	get involved with work politics.  You will have to work with a
		+	wide range of people, and its best not to burn bridges.</small></big></li>
		+	<li><big><small>Being
		+	a floater is a continual learning experience [3].  Keep your
		+	mind open and be prepared to learn throughout your time as a floater.</small></big></li>
		+	<li><big><small>Become
		+	familiar with the physical locations of where you work (the stacks,
		+	bathrooms, and important building nearby, such as post offices).</small></big></li>
		+	<li><big><small>Have
		+	fun!</small></big></li>
		+	</ul>
