Bifercation of Duties.

[Mandira Kundu]

What should be bifercation of duties in a college library of three staff members(Librarian,Restorer and Attendent) with a capacity of 250 students.

[Dr. Muzamil Mushtaq]

Although the positions/status itself represent the division of duties but normally we do not examine it in practical cases. A librarian is the authoritarian, Restorer is the maintainer (Stock) and the attendant is the care taker (Users and their property).

librarians, often called information professionals, combine traditional duties with tasks involving quickly changing technology. Librarians help people find information and use it effectively for personal and professional purposes. They must have knowledge of a wide variety of scholarly and public information sources and must follow trends related to publishing, computers, and the media to oversee the selection and organization of library materials. Librarians manage staff and develop and direct information programs and systems for the public and ensure that information is organized in a manner that meets users' needs.

Restorer-issue the books to the students and restore them again. Maintain the library record and keeps the books update. Requirement given to the concerned authority for new necessary books.    

Attendent-Compiles records, sorts and shelves books, and issues and receives library materials, such as books, films, slides, and phonograph records: Records identifying data and due date on cards by hand or using photographic equipment to issue books to patrons
