Ours comes from the print world and while that is still her main responsibility (shelving, check in, what you can gather from usage, binding when we do it, etc.), that collection is small and shrinking.
I have her helping me with gathering monthly usage statistics on our databases. She has a role in the ERM as far as updating contact records, inputing basic license information into license records and performing coverage loads. Occasionally I need some extensive link checking and holdings checks in our e-journals and she will do that as well.
It's a work in progress.

We are a very small library staff. I have one assistant who does daily check-in, claims, organization of periodical shelves including recycling of newspapers and some periodicals, gathering stats, supervising student workers, standing order processing, withdrawals of deselected titles and some gift cataloging.
I wish she could help me with invoice payments.

Subject: [SERIALST] Serials Assistant -- Job Description?
What all does a staff member in Serials do at your library? I'm especially interested in any non-financial tasks. I'm also interested in any tasks that you *wished* were done but currently aren't (for whatever reason).
Additionally, are there any tasks that a cataloguer (a librarian) would normally do but that now a staff member does?
I'd appreciate any input.
Thank you.
