- Case 6: Pre-Employment Screenings: What’s Appropriate? At a public library in Oregon in 2004, Janet Lanier applied for work as a library page. The job duties included such tasks as reshelving books and occasionally working a youth service desk. The library offered Lanier the job, on the condition that she first submit to drug and alcohol testing—a pre-employment requirement recently adopted by the library’s municipality.
