        Shortly I will be interviewing candidates for a Serials Clerk
position. My predecessor in the manager's position apparently
destroyed all extant copies of interview questions. While there are
interview questions that apply across ALL positions in Technical
Services, are there other questions that would be beneficial to ask? It
occurred to me, for example, that a question about being detail-oriented
would be appropriate. Anyone have any suggestions?

        If this is not of interest to the list, please e-mail me
privately.

        Thank you.
