1.0 INTRODUCTION Library department provided several services to the users for the user's opportunity.These types of libraries have several sections that are defined by their function and tasks. Thefunction and their role to the each their services will be taking an action by the librarian andstaff. Mostly the libraries section depended on the types of their libraries. For example, theacademic library should have the services that be related with the student needed. Thebusiness students should be having a lot of materials that be related with the businessenvironment such as economic books, business management, business law, business ethicsand many more. Generally, there’s the section that interfaces with its constituency and the section“behind the scenes” that orders, prepares, and makes available resources for theconstituency. The section that interfaces with its constituency disseminates info. Thesefunctions include reference and/or research (provided by librarians) and circulation. Behind-the-scenes functions include selection and acquisition of resources, cataloging andorganizing. If the resources are physical, they are organized and displayed on shelves, incases, walls, tables. If they are electronic resources, they are organized and displayed via anelectronic channel (computer, tablet, smart phone). The resources and service that a library provides are determined by its library. Most of thelibrary have all the kind of the services to the users. It can make the users always come to thelibrary to ask their question that they do not know and make their assignments and researchbecome easier and faster with the all services that the library provided. All the departmentswill give the high of services to the user's satisfy.These are some of the department that should be in the libraries: 1. Circulation department A circulation or lending department is one of the key departments of a library. The main public service point is the circulation desk or loans desk, usually found near the main entrance of a library. It provides lending services and facilities for return of loaned items. 2. Reference Department The library's reference department is responsible for providing a number of services to the public.

4.0 FINDING/IMPACTCirculation department The circulation department’s primary function is to supply the library user of the books,pamphlets, serials and other materials wanted. Four major functions comprise circulation workthe staff must have the familiarity with the holdings of the library, a knowledge of the needsand interests of the users, an appreciation of the techniques employed in carrying out theservice policies of the institution, and a willingness to cooperate with the other departments ofthe library. In many respects, the circulation desk is the library’s reception room as well as itsbook distribution and information centre. Indeed, the users frequently judge the library and itsadministration by the general atmosphere and level of service at the circulation desk. The circulation department being responsible for loan services, usually maintains arecord of all loans, keeps a file registered borrower, provides machinery for the recall ofoverdue items and for reserving files in demand, supervises the shelving’s of materials in thestack, and arranges extension, do inter-library loan and public relations services. Theorganization of the circulation department depends upon the size of the library and the degreeof departmentalization. Each type of library has particular needs and the organization mustreflect these words. While every circulation department must be organized to give speedy andefficient service, this goal must be regarded as a means rather than an end in itself. In thecollege and university, the end is to advance the instructional and research programs; in thespecial library it is to further the successful operation of the business or profession; in thepublic library field: To facilitate informal self-education of all people in the community To enrich and further develop the subjects on which individuals are undertaking formal education To meet the informational needs of all To support the educational, civic, and cultural activities of groups and organizations To encourage wholesome recreation and constructive use of leisure time The traditional library, with its large central stack, has a central circulation desk whichtakes care of most circulation routines. The college or university library in this type oforganization usually has supplementary service points including a periodical room, reservedesk, and departmental libraries. The large public library has its branches, deposit stations, 11

and bookmobile service. The divisional type of library has major service posts in each divisionas well as a central loan desk for general circulation. Whatever the type of library there shouldbe a centralized organization to provide uniform loan and public service practices in all partsof the library system. The librarian in charge of the circulation department, no matter what the size or typeor organization, must be aware of the latest ideas and techniques employed in this field. Theymust constantly examine the methods used in his own library, in relation to new developmentsand to the quality of service called for in his particular situation. Policies regarding service to users, including hours of opening, borrowers’ privileges,inter-library loan privileges, fines, lost books, and similar factors should be set down in writing.The department head should be thoroughly conversant with the basic aims of the library aswell as with the community or institutions it serves. Changes in methods or policies should bemade with the help of the best advice within the department. Internal department rulingsshould be made after appropriate staff conferences, but changes affecting other departmentsor the library as whole should not take place until there has been full discussion by all the staffmembers involved and until the new policies have been approved by the librarian. Data recorded by the circulation department should include controlled studies toprovide unit costs for the various activities in the department. For example, in the college anduniversity field on might want to know what it costs to circulate a reserve book; in anotherlibrary the comparative costs of servicing different types of materials, books, periodicals, andrecordings, could be found useful. Basic work statistics are useful in charting the flow of work;a word of caution is always in order regarding the danger of valuing statistics for their ownsake, a costly and time-consuming occupation.First and most obvious role is circulation control: a. Library that supplies the reader with the books wanted. Done through personal contact and a system of records. b. Circulation routine are established, records maintained and personnel are employed and train to make information efficiency available to borrowers. c. Reader advisory are required to solve problems related to circulation services and to explain why requested items cannot be immediately supplied. 12

Second role is ‘Public Relations’. a. Good customers relations rest with the circulation staff. b. Whole library system may be judged by the work of single circulation assistant. c. Good customer stem from the delivery of quality service. d. Good customer relations are important for the stability of a library’s financial base.Functions of Circulation Department 1. Perform shelving and stack maintenance. Maintaining and orderly arrangement of library materials is an important function generally assigned to circulation. A library must have an accurate and efficient shelving operation or good library service is impossible 2. Assists in the circulation of Inter-Library Loan. Interlibrary loan is a technique by which one library lends material indirectly to an individual through another material. In essence, therefore it is merely a means through which a library may broaden its lending services to include those materials which are made available by other libraries. Inter library loan is a technique to provide the library user as completely as is possible with the material he needs. 3. Perform all aspect of automated circulation system. Checking out, discharging, renewing and recalling library materials. Administers reserve system, searches network database for materials requested patrons, reserve materials, and informs patrons of their arrival. Register new borrower and explains policies procedures. Issues and collect charge for lost, damaged or overdue materials, reconciling patron records. 13

Cataloging and Classification department According to the Muhammad Nabeel Musharraf (2016), Library collections house awide variety of materials on many different topics and in many different formats. The challengein making these things available for the use of library patrons is letting those patrons knowwhat is in the library collection. This is the reason for having a library catalog, and for takingthe time to correctly catalog library materials. Every department has their important roles andresponsibilities to play an action to make the users will be satisfy in the information industries.In addition, the users will be always come to the library because all the department takes anaction in their tasks to make the users can get their search easier and quickly. The classification and cataloging department are very important department to thelibrary. This department is to make the materials that users wants be available. Thedepartment of a library which deals with the cataloging and classification of stock, and caninclude processing. For example, the staff or librarian will be preparing the issue to the libraryusers. This process happens behind the scenes in the technical services department in thelibrary. The library is the an extremely important function even though the role of the librarianhas evolved with the use of modern technology. There are still specialized skills needed inorder the process and organize the materials. In fact, anything that users need to search fortheir materials will be easily and quickly process when this department takes an action.Definition of cataloging The cataloging department is responsible for cataloging all the materials in the library.When the cataloging materials arrive, the librarian will be accurate records in the librarycatalog so that library users will be able to locate these materials cataloging items. The taskof this department primarily includes classifying, shelf listing, descriptive cataloging, subjectcataloging, duplicating catalogue cards and withdrawals, maintenance including revision ofexisting entries and arrangement and filling of catalogue cards. This library materials arecatalogue in a careful and complete manner, access is provided for the library users and staffto all sources of information. 14

Definition of classification A library classification is a system of coding and organizing documents or librarymaterials (books, serials, audio visual materials, computer files, maps, manuscripts) accordingto their subject and allocating a call number [clarification needed] to that information resource.Bibliographic classification systems group entities together that are relevant to the samesubject, typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure.Roles and responsibilities in the cataloging and classification department In the era of the information revolution, the role of libraries in acquiring and organizingvarious types of documents hardly needs any emphasis-Libraries as service institutionsacquire documents for use. This document is arranged in library on the basis of factors otherthan subject matter, the arrangement will not be helpful in meeting the requirements of themajority of readers who usually approach a library for subject material. In other words,documents should be classified and arranged on the basis of their subject content. Librarieshave always been acquiring books and adding them to their collections. In an unclassifiedlibrary, when the collection grows steadily into thousands and lakes of volumes, it would bedifficult for the library’s staff to lay hands on a particular document required by a reader. Tomeet the subject approach of readers the collection must necessarily be classified by subject.In libraries where the collection is arranged by accession number, or author or title, and notby subject, books on the same subject will be scattered throughout the collection. Even if thebooks are arranged alphabetically -by subject, the resultant sequence will not be helpful, asunrelated material will come together. Cataloging and classification have been referred to by Omekwu (2008, p. 188) as “thecentral nervous system of librarianship”, and as such cataloger themselves are vital to theirlibrary. They have already proved themselves capable of responding to new and changingscenarios, for example by grasping automation and using it to their advantage. The skills setand competencies that cataloger already have make them entirely suitable to exert somecontrol over the wild wayward web, and to take advantage of the possibility’s technology offersin relation to retrieval and presentation of information. 15

Cataloging is very important in keeping all the materials in the library organizedbecause it provides regularity within the library. The library, through the technical services candeliver the most efficient and highest quality service so that library users may identify andretrieve appropriate materials to meet their information needs.Some of the basic functions in the library cataloging department: - 1. To provide service to Library users through creation, maintenance, and improvement of the intellectual content of the Online Catalogue to as high a standard as is feasible 2. To strive to make the Online Catalogue accurate, controlled, and complete in order to provide for ready access to and management of the cataloged collections of Library system. 3. Creating and maintaining a database of bibliographic records for books, theses and online resources Functions of library classification is a process by which things or ideas are groups separateaccording to their likeness and differences.These are some of the basic functions of library classification: 1. Arrange books or other materials in helpful sequence convenient to the readers, research workers and librarians. 2. Ensure speedy location and replacement of books on the shelves for next users. 3. The users are provided with the subject approach to the subsidiary topic deal within a book by analyzing its content and making entries in the classified catalog. 4. A new book can be inserted in its proper places, among the other books on the same subject. 5. Provide means by which the stock of books or other materials may be clearly and effectively guided by the help of classification. 6. Classification is use as the basis of recording issue books in the lending counter. 16

Reference ProcessThere are three basic factors are involved in this process which is information, the user andthe reference librarian. Information For the information it can be in many formats. It may be in printed or in non-printed. It may be either too much of it, or not enough. It can be difficult to locate and sometime even more challenging to interpret. The User This is the person who puts the question to the librarian. Often he or she is not quite sure how to frame the query. The Reference Librarian This is the person will interprets the question posed by user. They then will identify the precise source for and answer.

Maintenance department As we know, library materials are acquiring, processing and display on the shelves byall types of libraries for their respective users. In order to attract and encourage the users touse all the library collection effectively, it is essential that the material is aesthetically beendisplay, orderly arrange and being keep in good physical condition. This work has been carriedout by the maintenance department of the library. So, we can conclude that maintenance workinvolves shelving, re-shelving, maintaining orderly arrangement of the collection and takingcare of all types of library material and associated equipment. In fact, the ultimate success ofall other functions of the library, such as acquisition, classification and cataloging, aredependent upon efficiency of the maintenance work. If the library collection is not properlydisplayed and maintained, it will not attract the library users and ultimately mars the image ofthe library. Among all the functions in a library, the maintenance work is the least discussed inprofessional literature. However, the importance of maintenance work cannot be overemphasized. In fact, the ultimate success of various other functions like acquisition,classification and cataloging rests on the efficiency of maintenance work. No matter how wella collection is classified or cataloged, books cannot be serviceable to users unless proper careis taken to organize and maintain the book collection. It is one of those less glamorous,nonetheless, very important tasks in a library. Now let us discuss what constitutesmaintenance work. Maintenance work involves continuous monitoring of the proper stocking,arrangement and display of books on the shelves in the stack rooms and taking care of them.Definition Maintenance is define as the act of maintaining, the state of being maintained, care orupkeep of machinery, the process of maintaining or preserving someone or something, theprocess of keeping something in good condition and also the work of keeping something inproper condition. Maintenance of collection also is one of the important tasks in the library. It involvescontinuous monitoring of the stack rooms and display areas. Maintenance work involvesshelving and re-shelving the material, keeping the collection in order, taking out books whichare not in order and re-shelving them in proper place. It also includes identifying and removingbooks needing repair, regular cleaning and dusting the area and protecting the collection fromdust, heat, direct sunlight, moisture, insects and pest infestation, as well as ensuring that allsign boards and library guides are properly display and are in good order and condition toguide the users to various areas of the library. 25

The Role of Maintenance Department Maintenance department specifications are included an individual equipmentspecification, the process of specifications, and plant performance specifications. Other thanthat, this administrative unit also responsible for continuous monitoring to other properstocking, arrangement and display of books, on the shelves and the stack room and alsomaintenance department taking care of them. For broad knowledge about maintenance department, maintenance work is includingthe administrative unit that is responsible for continuous monitoring other proper stocking,arrangement and display of books on the shelves in the stack rooms and taking care of them.Maintenance function or role is included; • Dusting and cleaning shelves • Shelving of new books and return books • Shelf study and shelf rectification • Identifying damaged books • Shifting and re-sifting books • Assistance to readers • Stock verification • Maintenance of book tags • Maintenance of shelf list RFID technology also some of important technology that cooperate or help themaintenance department in order to manage the stocks as the RFID tags to carry the relevantdata of a stock. RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. The acronym refers tosmall electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically iscapable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less. 26

Archive department Archives department is to maintains an archive, but as genealogy and local historybecomes more and more important, more and more libraries are finding that they need tomake space for archival collections. These collections can include books that might live in apublic area as well as photos, objects, art, furniture, scrapbooks, documents, rare titles, etc,that will live in a climate controlled back of the house environment. Archives is a term that can have many different connotations. In the loosest sense ofthe word it can be taken to mean a collection of historical records, and what counts as“historical” varies from one setting to the next. As institutions, archives tend to adhere toseveral core principles: acquisition, appraisal, arrangement & description, preservation, andaccess. Preservation of archival collections involves much more than stowing collections awayon shelves until they need to be consulted. Doing preservation properly means havingadequate storage facilities with environmental conditions geared towards protectingcollections from damage from light or humidity, specialized equipment and supplies to protectmaterial from deterioration or decay. Carrying out preservation can be a costly endeavour, notonly monetarily, but in terms of the time and resources involved as well. In some cases,preservation means moving archival material to new formats (e.g. digitization or microfilm). Archives department collect original unpublished material or primary sources in thelibrary. The records held by archives department are unique and irreplaceable. By their verynature archival materials are fragile and vulnerable to improper handling. If an archivaldocument is lost, stolen, or irreparably damaged, the information it contains is lost forever. 27

Library outreach department Outreach department is responsible for performing administrative functions for theLibrary Department, including developing, planning, promoting, coordinating and directingprograms and events for diverse populations. Employee functions as primary promotionalagent for the library and as liaison to the Friends of the Library and external communityorganizations for the purpose of determining needs, building community relations andcoordinating outreach projects. Outreach means different things for children, adults, and seniors, regular librarypatrons and non-patrons, fiction readers, researchers, and computer users. But in general,outreach can be seen as any service or activity that gets patrons or potential patrons interestedin a library. In libraries, outreach is often described as services for those who are infrequent usersor non-users or as services for those who are traditionally underserved. Outreach librariansstrive to provide equitable delivery of library services to all people through the development ofprograms, policies, practices, and behaviours which make the library available to all peoplebecause outreach librarians work in public, academic, government, medical, and speciallibraries, they serve a wide range of people. They serve a variety of people based on theenvironment and the population which their library seeks to serve. Most often, outreach librarians are focused on the traditionally underserved, includingpoor and homeless people, ethnically diverse people, older adults, adult new and non-readers,incarcerated people and ex-offenders, people with disabilities, GLBT populations, and ruraland geographically isolated communities. 28

Collection management’s departmentCollection management is an important library function and involves three major aspects:• Budgeting for the collection• Developing policies for the collection• Developing strategies for building, weeding, and maintaining the collectionBuilding a collection involves a studied approach to the selection, maintenance, development,and evaluation of the library’s materials. Equally important is the library’s stance on intellectualfreedom and the policy position it takes when library materials are challenged. The needs,wants, and demands expressed by the community served are the driving forces behindcollection management. Collection development includes the planning, selecting, and buildingof collections in all formats needed by the community. Collection evaluation is the continuousprocess of analysing use, age, condition, timeliness, and coverage of library material 29
