Acquisition and
Processing Section
|
|
Any library work may be divided broadly into 2 kinds of jobs, work behind
the scene and  work with the
readers. This section belongs to the former type which regulates the
acquiring and preparing the material for use into serviceable articles
without delay and minimum cost.
 Once the books are
acquired these have to be technically processed before
these are used by readers. The main activities here are classification and
cataloguing the documents. Classification in simple terms means assigning a
numerical numbers as minute as possible according to the subject which it
covers. This helps in arranging all books of one subject in one place
rather than making it a store house
of books jumbled in one
place. Cataloguing helps readers
locate books by author, title and subject cards. All entries are arranged alphabetically
like a dictionary so that even a layman can search books of his/her
interest and liking.
Before the books and other documents
reach the shelves, other processes are involved in making these available
to users. These include
pasting labels, due date slips book pocket, accessioning slip and stamping
with the library seal. All these
activities are carried out in this section.
