3.5 Volunteer management


Libraries Tasmania’s Business Services unit provides centralised, strategic oversight for volunteer management. Each library or business unit site have local designated staff who coordinate and supervise their volunteers.

Records created during the course of a volunteer’s engagement with Libraries Tasmania will be managed as per DECYP’s record keeping processes.

Any creative works produced by volunteers as part of their voluntary services with Libraries Tasmania will remain the property of the Crown, except by prior agreement. Volunteers’ intellectual work will be acknowledged and attributed where appropriate.

Libraries Tasmania may contribute to reimbursing expenses incurred by a volunteer during their volunteering as negotiated and agreed in advance with the local coordinator and/or manager.

Libraries Tasmania reports on volunteer activity including the number of volunteers and volunteer hours. Volunteer hours must be recorded on timesheets, rosters, logbooks or registers

Libraries Tasmania may at any time make changes to or discontinue the volunteer’s assigned volunteer activities.
